Puer GABA Oolong Tea 100gr

Puer GABA Oolong Tea 100gr is a unique creation that combines the intense, deep character of Puer tea with the sweet, relaxing delicacy of GABA tea. This extraordinary tea cake is born in the heart of ancient Chinese traditions, using wild leaves harvested from centuries-old trees growing in the pristine mountainous regions bordering China at an altitude of 1,200 meters.

The tea leaves used are naturally pure, free of chemicals or pollutants, and represent the quintessential quality that only ancient wild trees can offer. These leaves are expertly processed using traditional Taiwanese techniques, combining the richness of Chinese tea tradition with modern innovation.

During processing, the leaves are subjected to the GABA method, which involves exposing the leaves to a nitrogen-rich environment. This step significantly increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a natural compound known for its relaxing and stress-relieving properties. In parallel, the leaves undergo Oolong processing, which includes withering, controlled oxidation and drying steps, giving the tea a complex and balanced flavor profile.

The end result is a tea pressed into a cake where the fermented, earthy, deep notes typical of Puer blend to perfection with the delicate, floral sweetness that characterizes GABA. Each sip offers a unique combination of flavors: initially intense and robust, it evolves into an enveloping sweetness that leaves the palate satisfied and relaxed.

This tea is not only a pleasure for the palate, but also a source of well-being for the body and mind. Thanks to its high levels of GABA, Puer GABA Oolong Tea helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves sleep quality, and promotes a deep sense of relaxation. In addition, the wild leaves are rich in natural antioxidants, which boost the immune system and fight cellular aging, making it an excellent choice for those seeking health and serenity in every cup.

Customized packaging

An additional element of prestige is the packaging. The cake is wrapped in a decorative paper designed by Tea Soul, with a fine motif depicting a rabbit, symbolizing theYear of the Rabbit 2023, the year the leaves were harvested and the cake pressed. This artistic detail makes Puer GABA Oolong Tea not only a delicacy to be enjoyed, but also a collector’s item and a perfect gift for tea and oriental culture enthusiasts.

How to prepare

We highly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves can be used in a gaiwan of about 150 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in water at 100°C, an initial infusion of 10 seconds can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 5 seconds from the previous infusion (15-20 …).

This tea has a longevity of about 7 brewings.

For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves in a 200-mL cup with water at 100°C for an infusion time of 2-3 minutes.

The tea can be filtered for ease when tasting, and also the infusion times given here above are meant to be purely indicative so one can also adjust according to one’s personal taste.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Benefits of GABA tea

The teas rich of GABA have a particular relaxing effect on our bodies. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), in fact, is a neurotransmitter that our organism already produce and use when it is necessary to reduce the excitement of the nervous system.

So the GABA teas, thanks to their light exciting effect, can be drunk any time during the day even by the most sensitive people. In the leaves, anyway, there’s a bit of caffeine but its effect is almost insignificant because of the high concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid.

Other than being easy to drink at every hour, the GABA teas give some minerals and antioxidants capable of reducing the cellular aging together with an healthy lifestyle.
