About Gaba Oolong

This exceptional Gaba Oolong undergoes a meticulous fermentation process in a nitrogen-rich environment, which enhances the natural content of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), after which the tea is named. In the cup, it reveals a beautiful amber glow, tantalising the senses with enticing aromas of ripe fruits, dark caramel, and delicate chocolate. The flavour is smooth and subtly sweet, both refreshing and warming at the same time – perfect for indulging in special, memorable tea moments.

 

About Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is a revered Chinese tea variety that bridges the gap between green and black tea, both in flavour and appearance, offering an extraordinary spectrum of tastes. The craft of producing Oolong is intricate, demanding exceptional skill and expertise. Depending on the level of fermentation, Oolong can present a fresh, floral profile akin to green tea or a spiced, piquant character reminiscent of fully fermented black tea. Because of its elaborate production, Oolong is celebrated as a connoisseur's tea.

 

Cultivation & Processing

The leaves for this Gaba Oolong are cultivated in the mountainous region of Fujian province, China, an area celebrated for its exceptional tea-growing conditions. With a mild climate, high humidity, and nutrient-rich clay soils, the region provides an ideal environment for producing high-quality tea.

 

How to Enjoy

Gaba Oolong pairs wonderfully with sweet treats like chocolate cake, almond biscuits, or nut cookies. It also complements fruity desserts such as dried apricots or caramel puddings beautifully. With its balanced sweetness, this tea is perfect for relaxed afternoons or quiet evenings. For the best experience, brew it in a traditional teapot or gaiwan to fully release its rich aroma.
