Ming Jian GABA

This fruity GABA oolong is crafted with organic tea leaves, grown at low altitude (450m – 500m) in the well-known tea region of Ming Jian.

The tea cultivar is Jinxuan, first recognized by Dr. Zhen Zhe Wu (local tea legend) in 1981; it is sometimes called ‘milky oolong’ because of its smooth texture and sweet, buttery mouthfeel that it produces.

GABA oolong is produced by withering the leaves in a nitrogen chamber; this causes the tea leaves to produce a higher concentration of GABA.

This humble yet well-crafted tea is particularly fruity; it is also VERY DIFFICULT to over steep. We recommend, however, not trying.
