Thanks to this plantation located in a deep mountain environment with opulent sunshine exposure, our GABA tea material is 100% Jin Xuan varietal from the Alishan area grown with incomparable quality. The result is a rich and grassy tasting balled green tea with a high concentration of GABA that is also vibrant and fresh.
 
GABA stands for Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, and the content in this tea is around 400 mg per 100 grams, which is higher than most of the GABA tea in the market.  The GABA content adds a thick layer of baked sweet potato taste to the tea and is proven to offer the drinker a soothing or relaxing feeling.  GABA processing, which involves shade growing and then nitrogen sparging was developed by the Japanese and later perfected by the Taiwanese.  The result is a tea that tastes great while being both stimulating and soothing to the nervous system.

What follows is the pleasant green tea bitterness with a bit of bamboo shoot flavor.
