This is a malty ans somewhat sweet tea. When I brewed it I was for some reason thinking it a black tea so I brewed it at the wrong temperature. It is listed on the Yunnan Sourcing USA website under black teas. It is tasty and a good tea but I am not feeling any effect from the GABA. I find GABA to be hit or miss and that usually means miss.

I brewed this twice in a 8oz teapot with 3.7g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for three minutes each infusion.

Have you tried mandala’s GABA black? I had a sample once and gongfu infused it many times and it totally had an effect on me!

I also have Mandala’s GABA Black and their GABA Oolong. Perhaps it was because I didn’t gongfu it. Perhaps you need to gongfu it to have the GABA effect.

Try it out and let me know. I steeped it a crapload of times and felt very calm afterwards! ;)

Interesting… I bought GABA powder for my friends and I to put under our tongue while we drank tea. This makes me interested in drinking a GABA tea now.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
