1. Concentration:
Primarily, GABA tea is effective in enhancing concentration, increasing resilience, and reducing anxiety. It improves focus and memory, serving as an invaluable tool in creative, practical, and intellectual tasks. The tea reduces external disturbances, allowing for greater concentration on the task at hand.
2. Blood Pressure Regulation:
GABA tea lowers blood pressure due to its minimal caffeine content.
3. Gentle Sedation and Positive Impact on Sleep:
GABA receptors, including those in the hypothalamus responsible for circadian rhythms and sleep, contribute to the calming and sedative effects of GABA tea. It positively influences sleep quality by reducing mental agitation and promoting deep sleep.
4. Post-Exercise Recovery:
GABA stimulates the secretion of growth hormone during the early stages of deep sleep, a key factor in muscle growth after intense physical activity.
5. Alleviation of Affective Excitement, Rehab Therapy:
Studies show positive effects of GABA tea consumption post-alcohol and psychotropic substance use, reducing withdrawal symptoms and negative effects.
GABA's Effects on the Body:
- Promotes calmness and relaxation

ABOUT THE TEA:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The aroma is rich and sweet, reminiscent of confectionery, mountain honey, with notes of raisins. The dry leaves have a sweet caramel scent. In the first infusion, the taste is not overly intense, with a herbal undertone and the aroma of apple. With subsequent infusions, light flavors are complemented by vanilla and caramel undertones. Some may also detect a berry aftertaste. Like other GABA teas, this oolong exhibits exceptional freshness.
Gaba tea, also known as tea with high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content, is a special type of tea produced from the top buds and leaves of the tea plant. During the production of Gaba tea, tea leaves undergo a unique process where GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid, is transformed in the final phase of oxygen-free tea fermentation in barometric chambers. This technology was first introduced in Japan in the 1980s.
When GABA is released into the synaptic chain, it activates ion channels, leading to the inhibition of nerve impulses. This tea promotes relaxation while maintaining mental clarity, enhancing control, and increasing cognitive activity. Many prefer to drink Gaba tea during work to help them focus while allowing their thoughts some freedom.
Furthermore, Gaba proves to be beneficial in creative work, providing an additional approach to solving difficulties and intellectual tasks that involve dealing with large amounts of data. It serves as a means to step out of the circle of a challenging task or situation and look at it from a new perspective. Gaba helps improve concentration, allowing individuals to work on a task for an extended period without getting distracted.
Brewing:
Gaba tea brews well in clay teapots, porcelain, and glassware. It is essential to monitor the degree of "unfolding" of the tea leaf—ensuring that the tea balls unfold well in the chosen vessel. The chances of over-brewing Gaba are much lower than under-brewing.
Brewing Instructions:

Tea Hacks
Temperature water:
The water temperature for brewing tea depends on the type of tea, as different varieties require specific conditions to bring out optimal flavor characteristics. Here are general recommendations for water temperature for different types of tea:
Green Tea:
- Water temperature: 70-80°C.
- Green tea is delicate, and a high temperature can lead to bitterness. Use the lower end of the range for light green teas and higher for more robust ones.
White Tea:
- Water temperature: 80-85°C.
- White tea is also quite delicate, and a lower temperature helps preserve its soft and sweet flavor profile.
Oolong and Yellow Tea:
- Water temperature: 85-90°C.(185-194°F)
- Oolong and yellow tea often require a slightly higher temperature to reveal their complex aromas.
Black-Red Tea:
- Water temperature: 90-95°C.
- Black tea is typically fuller-bodied and spicier, so a higher temperature helps extract its rich flavor qualities.
Pu'erh Tea:
- Water temperature: 95-100°C.
- Pu'er, especially shu (cooked) pu'er, benefits from a high temperature to fully develop its flavor.
- Use only pure water without additives and extraneous odors to experience the true taste of tea. Don't forget to experiment with proportions and brewing times; this will help you find the perfect balance of flavors that suits you.
How to get the maximum flavor from tea extraction?
For the best experience in getting the maximum tea flavor, use a tippod with a spill function, gaiwan or gongfu teapot.
Follow the 5-second rule. Most teas reveal their aroma and flavor within 5 seconds of brewing. Carefully observe the water temperature that is required for the type of tea you are brewing. Use a thermos to keep the water at the same temperature.
1. Rinse - Rinse the tea in the kettle. Do this quickly, getting rid of the tea from the dust. One to three seconds is sufficient.
2. Straining. Now you can make the first brewing of tea. Pour water 1 centimeter higher than the leaf and drain after 5 seconds. taste the tea.
3 strain. Pour water and add another 5 seconds to the spill. 10 seconds - drain. Taste the tea and feel the bouquet and flavor unfold.
4 strain: repeat the same process. 15 seconds. If bitterness and astringency appear, reduce the duration of the pour by 10 seconds and repeat.
In this way you can brew the tea several times and each time the flavor will open up more and more until it subsides.
Experiment with time and find your personal ideal tea strain.
