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, has a stable average annual temperature and high humidity. Together, these factors create ideal conditions for growing tea. Riyuetan is one of Taiwan's thirteen national scenic areas (國家級風景特定區).
There are two points to note in the history of this variety. In the 1920s, Assam bushes were introduced in the city district of Yuchi (魚池鄉, yúchí xiāng), and their active selection began as a further basis for red tea. Later, in the 1980s, gaba tea technology was developed in Japan. Nowadays, Taiwanese specialists combine approaches to obtain a product with new properties - red gaba tea.
Appearance, aroma and taste
The tea leaves are twisted longitudinally and resemble brown nubuck in color and texture. The infusion is fiery orange. The flavor is floral and fruity with predominant notes of wild strawberry and acacia honey. The sip ends with a persistent spicy aftertaste.
In addition to red Gaba, we recommend trying Gaba based on Taiwanese oolongs.

Свое название ГАБА-чай получил из-за высокого содержания в своем составе гамма-аминомасляной кислоты (по-английски — Gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA). Гамма-аминомасляная кислота, в сочетании с другими компонентами чая, оказывает на организм человека совершенно удивительное и комплексное воздействие. Она понижает артериальное давление, помогает при атеросклерозе, головных болях и головокружениях, при морской болезни, стимулирует мозговую деятельность в частности и динамику нервных процессов вообще, улучшает мышление и память, снимает похмельный синдром, обладает высоким антиоксидантным действием — а это значит, что может иметь профилактическое антираковое действие. Гамма-аминомасляная кислота по своему действию аналогична транквилизаторам (диазепам, феназепам), но при этом не вызывает привыкания.
