From Herbs & Kettles

Fabulous single origin, whole leaf black tea from Sivasagar in Assam, naturally rich in the calming amino acid GABA. Complex and nuanced with notes of honey, malt, cacao, cedar, burnt wood, mango, lychee, pear and hay. Handcrafted with care, it offers a unique and joyous experience.

Finding this one slightly difficult to describe. I haven’t had a lot of GABA teas, and I think they’ve all been oolongs?

I’m definitely getting a tanginess, which the Internet tells me is common for GABA teas. It actually reminds me a bit of a mango yogurt drink or lassi, but perhaps a bit tangier. But then there’s also the earthy-woody black tea flavor, with a bit of musty hay as well. It makes for an interesting combo, and once again does not taste at all like I would expect for Assam. Closer to a second flush Darjeeling really, with those hay notes, but it does have some briskness to it, and a touch of raisin in the finish. An interesting experience to be sure!
