TEA WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID (GABA)
ORIGIN
GABA TEA was invented in Japan by Dr. Tsushida and his colleagues from MAFF National Research Institute of Tea in 1987. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an organic compound, the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter of the human central nervous system, and takes part in neuron transmission and metabolic processes in the brain. Thanks to a specific production method in an oxygen-free environment, the glutamic acid inside the tea leaf is converted into gamma-aminobutyric acid. Another very important amino acid you can find in this tea is called alanine. The main function of alanine is to increase muscle performance.
Gaba tea is one of the rare teas that was originally developed for its health benefits. This tea has a hugely beneficial impact on the cardiovascular, nervous, and endocrine systems. Researches show that Gaba teas have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. There is a huge list of properties like lowering and equalizing blood pressure, relieving the symptoms of atherosclerosis and hypertonic disease, increasing the rate of metabolic processes and the production of growth hormone, decreasing blood sugar, increasing brain activity, strengthening the vestibular apparatus, stress relief, relieving the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression, improving memory and sleep, promoting weight loss and increasing stamina. It is considered that Gaba tea is very useful for mental overload and helps to recover during and after a working day. This tea is great for relaxing in the evening and regulates blood pressure.
This tea is made from an early spring tea leaf harvested in Yuchi, Nantou, Taiwan, at an altitude of 700-800 meters above sea level. The cultivar used to produce this tea is called TRES No. 18 (Hong Yu) and is famous for its sweet, honey note. Gradually opening up with repeated infusions, this tea amazes with its depth and multifaceted taste.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Homogeneous tea leaves carefully twisted into small lumps vary from amber to dark burgundy. Dry tea leaves have a bright, rich, baked aroma with notes of fruit and dried fruits. Bakery, bread, honey motifs. After warming the tea leaves, the fragrance develops into creamy, floral, vanilla notes. The aroma evokes the mood of Christmas and home. After rinsing, the aroma continues with a soft, subtle aroma of plum, berry jam, and shortbread. The stunning aroma promises a beautiful and deep tea experience!
The taste is soft, delicate, deep, and multifaceted with notes of dried fruit compote. Dried apples, wild berries, cinnamon, vanilla, plum, strawberry, gingerbread, and some woody, nutty notes. A little lingering in the aftertaste leaves freshness and sweetness in the mouth for a long time. The infusion is thick and clean with an amber, honey tone. The empty bowl has a sugary aroma with notes of strawberries, raspberries, and custard. At the end of the tea ceremony, the tea opens into whole, large, elastic tea leaves and combinations of a 'bud and two leaves'. Tea brings a state of relaxation, harmony, and warmth.
