Origin: Riyuetan (Sun Moon Lake, 日月潭, rìyuètán), Nantou County (南投縣, nántóu xiàn), Taiwan.
This mountain lake is surrounded by mountain ranges on all sides, boasting a stable average temperature and high humidity. These factors combine to create ideal conditions for growing tea. Riyuetan is one of Taiwan's thirteen National Scenic Areas (國家級風景特定區).
Two points are noteworthy in the history of this variety. In the 1920s, Assam bushes were introduced to the city of Yuchi (魚池鄉, yúchí xiāng), and their active selection began as the basis for red tea. Later, in the 1980s, the technology for producing gaba tea was developed in Japan. Today, Taiwanese specialists are combining these approaches to produce a product with new properties—red gaba tea.
Appearance, aroma and taste
The tea leaves, twisted longitudinally, resemble brown nubuck in color and texture. The infusion is a fiery orange. The flavor is floral and fruity, with dominant notes of strawberry and acacia honey. The sip ends with a lingering spicy aftertaste.
In addition to red Gaba, we recommend trying Gaba based on Taiwanese oolongs.

The aroma of dry tea is bright, spicy, floral, and voluminous. Notes of dried cloves, wild rose petals, and fruit predominate. Rinsed tea leaves reveal aromas of a blooming garden, hints of oriental spices, and sun-warmed tropical fruits.
The taste of Zhiyuetan GABA is soft and delicate. The flavor features spicy and floral notes, wild rose petals, rose hips, and floral honey. After the third steeping, the tea becomes lighter and airier. A vibrant floral and fruity trail emerges on the palate.
This tea can be steeped up to 5 times. To prepare the infusion, use 5-7 grams of dry tea leaves per 150 ml gaiwan or teapot. The resulting infusion is a deep, rich, and dark amber color.
As you drink, the tea leaves a light, delicate aftertaste in your mouth, with floral notes and a hint of tropical fruit.
Red GABA tea from Zhiyuetan has a unique effect. It lifts the mood and helps overcome depression, relaxes the body, immerses the wearer inward, and creates a meditative state.
GABA enhances the body's ability to resist stress and nervous tension. The tea stimulates brain activity and improves performance.
This tea will appeal to all lovers of red tea, shu pu-erh, and any other highly fermented tea.

GABA tea got its name due to the high content of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Gamma-aminobutyric acid, in combination with other components of tea, has a completely amazing and complex effect on the human body. It lowers blood pressure, helps with atherosclerosis, headaches and dizziness, seasickness, stimulates brain activity in particular and the dynamics of nervous processes in general, improves thinking and memory, relieves hangover syndrome, has a high antioxidant effect - which means that it can have a preventive anti-cancer effect. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is similar in its effect to tranquilizers (diazepam, phenazepam), but is not addictive.
