Sip in place of a cocktail for ultimate feelings of clarity.

GABA Oolong is a unique type of oolong tea leaf, which gets its name from the Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) it contains, a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in the brain. The leaves are freshly picked and processed in anaerobic conditions (without oxygen), utilizing nitrogen, which increases the amount of GABA and subsequent health benefits. GABA tea is sourced primarily from Japan and Taiwan and revered for having a calming effect on the nervous system and reducing overall stress levels in the body, while supporting anxiety, insomnia, hypertension and a variety of other ailments. Too much stress in our bodies can lead to illness, a lowered immune system, and a higher risk of depression, among other things.

    Lovely, mild tea

    Went back to order the big glass jar, but it’s sold out! Ordered some lavender honey for when it comes back in to enhance the effects.

    Surprisingly Effective

    While at first glance you might pass this tea by, it's a very special tea indeed. I actually don't think the site does this tea justice in explaining why GABA oolong is so special and that not all oolong has high GABA. How high? I don't know, but I do think it would be helpful if they could post an average range.

    I ended up doing a bit of a research project to learn about why GABA might be useful. In addition to relieving anxiety and stress, apparently it helps lower blood pressure, enhances focus and mood and potentially improved sleep quality. While I haven't tried this brew in the evening, I have been having it first in the morning. I truly feel it helps me feel more alert and ready to tackle the day.

    Taste wise this is why I gave the tea a 4. It's not exactly the most exciting blend, especially when you are competing with over 100+ amazing blends on this site. I don't drink this one because it's the tastiest, I drink it because I like how it makes me feel. The taste isn't terrible - it's mellow and just a little astringent all at the same time.

    If I knew the GABA was high enough I'd consider blending this in with another Magic Hour favorite, but because I don't I also don't want to dilute its effects.
