A rare GABA shou pu-erh for the lovers of dark tea!

What is GABA?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the nervous system. It is known to reduce neuronal excitability, producing a calming and anti-anxiety effect. It may also help improve focus and support better sleep.

How is GABA tea produced?
To increase the content of GABA in tea, the traditional oxidation step is carried out in an anaerobic environment — chambers filled with nitrogen. During this process, the glutamic acid naturally present in the tea leaves is converted into GABA, while caffeine and catechin levels remain largely unchanged.

This exciting new pu-erh offers a full-bodied brew with grounded earthy and woody aroma with sweet aftertaste!

How to prepare:
- Western-style brewing: 2–3 g per 300 ml water at 90°C. Infuse for 3 minutes.
- Gongfu-style brewing: 5 g of tea leaves per 100 ml water. First infusion: 40–50 seconds. Second infusion: 20 seconds. Increase the infusion time by 20 seconds for each subsequent infusion.
