After introducing Red Jade GABA Tea to all of you two years ago, we’re back with a much improved version of it this spring. We’ve worked with the producer to improve the manufacturing process to produce a smoother, sweeter tea with a touch of tartness The tannins are tamer and balanced and, with the exceptional conditions of this spring, this tea is very generous and ample. If you hesitated beforehand, now’s the time to try it out!
GABA Tea is one of a rare bread of teas that was initially developed for its purported health benefits. If you are not familiar with this aspect, check out the info tab. Now that this is said, we need to admit that the best thing about GABA tea is that it is wonderfully good in the cup! The special, oxygen-deprived environment that leaves are submitted to increases the content of GABA while slowly oxidizing them. This also smoothes out the tannins leaving a crisp tart fruity taste that is quite apealing. This unique production using organically grown Red Jade T-18 cultivar is very different tasting than our GABA oolong and our classic Red Jade Black Tea. It proposes the full bodied flavour of a Red jade Black tea with its fresh minty attack and tangy fruit compote finish that is both generous and refreshing. Just like it’s cousin, this GABA tea not only makes a beautiful hot beverage, it is fantastic as a refreshing iced tea!
