The GABA Oolong Ruby is cultivated in the mountainous region of Nantou County, Taiwan, at an elevation of approximately 1500 meters. This high-altitude terroir contributes to the tea’s refined character and superior quality. The tea leaves used for this GABA oolong are carefully harvested from lower sections of the tea plant, naturally resulting in a lower caffeine content-making it suitable for consumption throughout the day, including evenings.

Known for its delightful flavor profile, GABA Oolong Ruby offers a harmonious balance of toasted and nutty (hazelnut) notes, enriched by the delicate floral undertones characteristic of traditional oolong teas. This complex and soothing flavor experience has made it a favorite among tea connoisseurs seeking both taste and wellness benefits.

Given its calming properties, GABA Oolong Ruby is especially recommended for individuals who experience difficulties with sleep, including trouble falling asleep or maintaining restful sleep. The relaxing effects of GABA can support better sleep quality without the harsh stimulants often found in other beverages.

GABA teas represent an innovative and rapidly growing category of specialty teas distinguished by their exceptionally high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a powerful amino acid known for its numerous health benefits. GABA has been scientifically shown to promote relaxation of the nervous system, aid in lowering blood pressure, and help regulate blood glucose levels. These qualities make GABA teas particularly beneficial for individuals seeking natural support for stress relief and overall wellness.
