Alishan Hong Gaba is a unique Taiwanese oolong tea grown in the Alishan Mountains. The combination of traditional red tea processing and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) technology makes this tea truly special.
Taste: Rich, multifaceted, with notes of dried fruits, berries, chocolate, honey and a slight sourness.
Aroma: Bright, sweet, with floral, fruity, honey and chocolate notes.
Appearance: Hand-rolled, tight leaves are dark brown with golden flecks.
Colour of infusion: Rich red-brown.
Alishan Hong Gaba undergoes a two-stage process. First, the tea leaves are fermented using the same process as red tea, then placed in an oxygen-free environment where nitrogen promotes the accumulation of GABA. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter with a calming and relaxing effect.

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.
A cup of aromatic freshly brewed tea invigorates in the morning, gives strength during the day, warms in bad weather or refreshes in the heat. And if it is not just tea, but the famous GABA, the properties of which are improved compared to the traditional drink, then calmness, excellent health, high performance are guaranteed!
