Gaba Cha is a modern and surprising wulong tea produced in northern Taiwan.
It was originally created as a health product but has such a fascinating flavour profile that it stands tall in any catalogue of fine teas.
Rich in GABA molecules (an important amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system), this tea has popularly been associated with a long list of claims and benefits for human health. To name a few, we can mention memory retention, curing hangovers, weight loss, relaxation and combating depression.
The fabrication process which includes numerous rounds of vacuum sealing the leaves during transformation gives this tea a rich and fruity liquor (baked apples, grenadine) with a soft finish on cinnamon and nutmeg aromas.
