Description

Taiwan has been making GABA oolongs for many years. The name refers to gamma-aminobutyric acid, a compound that forms when the leaves are processed in a nitrogen-rich, oxygen-free environment rather than exposed to open air. GABA has traditionally been enjoyed for its calming qualities. Like most Taiwanese oolongs, this one holds up to several steepings, making it an easygoing medium-bodied pour despite being on the toastier end of oolongs.
