Taiwanese GABA Oolong — Soft, focused, and quietly restorative
GABA Black Pearl Oolong is a Taiwanese high‑altitude GABA‑rich oolong shaped into small “pearls,” known for its deep amber liquor, tropical‑fruit sweetness, light sourness, and long, warming aftertaste. It is produced using the same nitrogen‑fermentation method as other GABA teas, but crafted to a richer, more full‑bodied profile.
