GABA: CHOCOLATE (GMK>170Mg), 2024
Fermentation of gaba tea takes place without the participation of oxygen, which contributes to the formation of GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the tea leaf, an amino acid produced in the nervous system and serving as an intermediary in the transmission of nerve impulses. It creates a balance between the processes of excitation and inhibition.
In medicine, GABA is used to improve cerebral circulation, memory, attention, and also to increase learning ability.

Under its influence, mental arousal decreases, the energy processes of the brain are activated, the respiratory activity of tissues and glucose utilization improve, which leads to high-quality deep sleep.

Brewing:
Gaba tea is brewed well both in glassware and in porcelain and clay. It is very important to monitor the degree of "unfolding" of the tea leaf — to ensure that the tea balls unfold well in the selected dish. The chances of digesting Gaba are much lower than under-cooking.
How to brew:
🔘Insistence
Kettle with a volume of 800-1 liters
5-7 grams of Gaba Tea (2-3 teaspoons)
Hot water is 90-95 degrees Celsius.
Pour the tea into the teapot and pour hot water over it. Leave to infuse for 5 minutes. After five minutes, stir and start drinking tea. After you have drunk half of the teapot, you can add more hot water, since gaba has the property of opening the leaf, you can also add it right during tea drinking.
You can also brew tea even in a mug. Try to start with one teaspoon per 250 milliliters, cover the mug with a saucer if brewing in a cup.
🔘Straits: (Straits increase the quality of tea extraction and its discovery in taste)
Tipod or gaiwan
The first spill is washing the tea, removing the dust and releasing the aroma of the tea.
Water Temperature (90 Degrees Celsius)
Warm up the tipod or gaiwan and pour this water into the cup from which you are going to drink. Pour the tea into the tipod or gaiwan (1-2 teaspoons per 150 ml dish) and water from the cup (the water has cooled significantly and will not take away the taste and aroma of the tea, but only helps to open it brighter) rinse the tea with it in the tipod. The speed of the strait is 2-3 seconds.
The second spill takes 10-15 seconds If you use a tipod, pour water 1 centimeter higher than the tea leaf, this will allow you to get a saturated extraction of tea and with short spills, the tea will open brightly and gradually. It is better to start with short spills, 5 seconds, so you will hear the top notes of tea: light ethereal.
The third strait - 15-20 seconds
The heart of the tea will open, the middle notes, in the second strait the tea itself will already open, a denser taste with the preservation of the upper ethereal notes.
The fourth strait - 25-25 seconds, The middle notes and the opening of the volume to the fullest - The taste and aroma of tea opens completely on this strait
Fifth strait - 25-30 seconds
The bottom notes - the depth of the tea goes into the taste, then the astringency and saturation may already appear, the sixth strait becomes deeper - 30-40 seconds
On the sixth strait and each subsequent one, the taste and aroma of tea will decrease. Increase the next spills by 5 seconds.
GABA Tea can withstand about 10 spills.
Have a nice tea party!
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.
