This exceptional GABA Pu Erh tea represents a unique fusion of expertise and cultural heritage, brought to life through the collaboration of our Taiwanese partners. The result is a tea that perfectly blends diverse traditions from across Asia, creating a singular tasting experience.

The tea leaves are meticulously handpicked along the border between Myanmar and Thailand.  The cultivar and traditional processing techniques originate from the renowned Yunnan region in China. The crucial step that enriches this tea with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is based on Taiwanese fermentation methods. The cultivar used is Da Ye, a large-leaf variety commonly employed for Pu Erh and other Yunnan-grown teas.

Da Ye Sheng offers a complex and inviting flavor, characterized by rich notes of ripe plums, dried fruits, and a subtle hint of lychee. Its smooth profile is complemented by a low caffeine content, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a gentle yet flavorful tea.

True to the Pu Erh tradition, this GABA-enriched tea is an excellent digestive aid. Thanks to its high concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid, it also promotes relaxation of the nervous system, helps reduce blood pressure, and may assist in lowering blood glucose levels. These scientifically supported benefits make it a perfect tea for wellness-focused tea drinkers. For an in-depth exploration of its health properties, feel free to check our detailed blog article.
