About the Tea

"This distinctive oolong is a consistent bestseller for good reason. The 2025 GABA delivers a full-bodied, thick broth with complex flavors that reminded me of slowly dried Japanese persimmons (hoshigaki) and fresh brown bread. It’s fitting that like the traditional art of making hoshigaki, this oolong’s exceptional character is developed through patient, meticulous processing that transforms simple leaves into something delicious.

It has undergone an extended 3-day anaerobic fermentation and a 4-hour roast. This harvest achieved a high concentration of 193mg/100g leaves, surpassing the minimum threshold for GABA content."

Please note: We are still awaiting packaging, and anticipate it should arrive by end of January. We are aiming to ship these starting Feb 2
