High Mountain Gaba 2020 No.546 Autumn

The tea was picked at the end of September at an altitude of 1300 m. Varietal: Qing Xin 青 心 Jade green heart, which is one of Taiwan’s most legendary tea variants. It originates from the Chinese province of Anxi arrived with tea farmers in the late 19th century. In our opinion, the best high mountain oolongs are made from Greenheart.
The special feature of the tea is that the flowery, invigorating green heart can be clearly felt, which is accompanied by the autumn scents of the Gaba process. A cavalcade of flavors, a great experience.
We started tasting at 85 degrees and then after a couple of steeps, we raised it to 90 degrees with 6 grams of tea leaves.
Loquat, cherry scent, cinnamon cake, and quince compote appear. Our tasting companions also discovered Zserbo (Hungarian sweet with walnut+marmalade filling, dark chocolate glazed on top), cinnamon plum dumplings, and apricot jam, but came to the herbs, cloves, mulled wine notes. It is a very complex tea, also recommended if you want to get your friends hooked up with tea. The relaxation effects of Gaba come slowly, softly and bring a pleasant overall effect.

As the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays a key role in regulating the excitability of neurons in various neural functions such as motor activity, learning, and sleep. In the ’80s, a procedure was discovered in Japan to increase Gaba levels in tea leaves, giving them a soothing, balancing tea.
