From Taiwan Tea Crafts

GABA Tea is one of a rare bread of teas that was initially developed, not only for its resulting drinking enjoyment, but rather for its purported health benefits. If you are not familiar with this aspect, check out the info tab below. Now that this is said, we need to admit that the best thing about GABA tea is that it is wonderfully good in the cup! This tea is one of the most accessible, easy drinking teas we propose. The special, oxygen-deprived environment that increases the content of GABA while oxidising the leaves, also smoothes out the tannins leaving a crisp, slightly tart, but never bitter feeling in the mouth. The nose is all fruit, field berries to be more precise. As soon as hot water is poured on the leaves, a wonderfully inviting aroma of wild strawberries jam and ground cherries invites us to taste the cup. Generous and refreshing, GABA tea not only makes a beautiful hot beverage, it is fantastic as a refreshing iced tea! This Lot 583 is made by the same grower as our previous lots. Similar to high-mountain fragrant oolongs, we select our Gaba lots from the colder seasonal productions of spring and winter. They give the most exuberant wild field berry notes and distinctive wild strawberry aroma with a smoother finish. Yet again, our best Gaba so far!

I’ve enjoyed this tea quite as bit as I’ve sampled it. Interesting, I’ve found it has different flavors different times I’ve tried it. This is more likely to do with my mood or setting than anything else, but my best experiences have brought out sweet, fruity strawberry notes. Overall, the flavor profile of this tea is similar to that of a black tea, with its relatively high oxidation levels, but does not have the same malty “blackness” of a black tea. I’ve also found hints of a roasted flavor here, but I was brewing in a vessel I’d just brewed a roasted tea in.

Overall, quite a tasty tea! I don’t know if I can say anything toward the health benefits of it being a GABA tea, but it is quite tasty.
