Zen GABA Oolong — Taiwanese GABA Oolong Tea
Zen GABA Oolong is a carefully crafted Taiwanese oolong made using a special oxygen-free fermentation process that naturally increases levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). This unique processing gives the tea its smooth body and naturally calming character.
The cup is rich and rounded with a gentle sweetness, subtle floral notes, and a creamy mouthfeel. Aromas of plum jam and roasted chestnut unfold as the leaves open, revealing layers of flavor across multiple infusions.
