The Topaz Gaba Oolong Tea is cultivated in the pristine mountainous region of Nantou County, Taiwan, at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters. This unique terroir nurtures tea plants that develop complex flavors and aromatic profiles ensuring superior quality and authenticity in every leaf. The tea leaves used in this blend come from the lower portions of the tea plant, resulting in a naturally low caffeine content, making this tea a gentle yet satisfying choice for tea enthusiasts.

The flavor profile of GABA Oolong Topaz is notably pleasant and refined, harmoniously balancing toasted and nutty (hazelnut) notes with a delicate floral undertone typical of premium oolong teas. What truly distinguishes this tea is its fresh and refreshing bouquet, featuring enticing hints of honey and orange blossoms that invigorate the senses and offer a delightful, thirst-quenching experience.

GABA teas represent an innovative and distinctive category of teas characterized by their exceptionally high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid recognized for its numerous health benefits. Scientific research has demonstrated that GABA contributes to the relaxation of the nervous system, helps reduce blood pressure, and supports the regulation of blood glucose levels.
