GABA Ruby Oolong

GABA Ruby - Deep, noble, and quietly centering

This richly fermented GABA Oolong bridges the character of oolong and Taiwanese red tea. Crafted from high-altitude leaves and processed using oxygen-free fermentation -a technique pioneered in Japan in the late 1980s. This tea boasts elevated levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), known for its calming and focus-enhancing properties.

This tea invites experimentation - whether through traditional infusion or slow brewing rituals. Red Water GABA Oolong is a quiet companion for those seeking depth, clarity, and a touch of ancient elegance.

How to Brew GABA Oolong

Gaiwan Method (refined and expressive)

• Preheat your teaware
• Use 5 g per 100 ml of water at 90–100°C
• Rinse briefly, then steep for 5–10 seconds, increasing time with each infusion
• Suitable for 7–10 infusions, revealing evolving layers of aroma and depth

Thermos — Best for convenience and smoothness

GABA tea tolerates long steeps better than green tea. Slow extraction gives a thick, mellow, calming liquor. Perfect for work, travel, or sipping for hours.

• 85–90°C water
• Drink after 10–15 minutes; it stays stable for hours

Steeping or Cooking (Lu Yu’s method)

• Use 1 g per 100 ml of water at 90–100°C
• Simmer gently or steep for 3–5 minutes
• Ideal for exploring the tea’s full-bodied warmth and complexity
