Unique gaba oolong made according to classical technology when air is replaced with nitrogen during oxidation. The distinct acidity indicates a high GABA content, which is becoming rare in modern GABA teas.
This tea earned its exclusive status, first, due to the use of old equipment in its production—remarkably preserved and still functioning—and second, for its beautiful flavor profile.
You'll taste warm notes of cinnamon, plum jam, apple pie, and milk caramel, all perfectly balanced.
The potent high-quality organic material has excellent stamina.
The tea gently relaxes while simultaneously enhancing focus and mindfulness.

I’m drinking this tea right now. What I love most is the depth of its flavor—the aroma too, of course, but the way the taste unfolds is priceless. This is not a quick tea. Around the fourth cup, the body starts filling with awareness of breath, of one’s presence in the world, and of quiet contemplation. Shades of green mango skin and jungle rain fill the nose and lungs as if they come alive.
By the sixth cup, you forget the urge to drink tea quickly—and to live quickly. By the eighth, you simply watch life, and yourself within it.
Thank you for this wonderful tea!
Right Tea from the Top! Fresh taste and clear vision
I quite like this tea. I find the qi effect very strong. It holds up for a surprising amount of infusions. I actually get a lot of blackcurrant and fruity acidity from it, and even with extended infusions at high temp am pull out any bitterness or even much dryness.
This will make an excellent, economical, and delicious daily driver.
I'm not a tea lover actually. Im just beginning this way of life
So, I have tried oolong to understand what is this and it was very nice for me.
Thank you for making my day more tasty and interesting.
Mild flavor reminiscent of brown sugar. Drinks well, the flavor is dense, with umami. The soaked leaf smells like biscuit.
