Description
GABA tea gets its name from gamma-aminobutyric acid, a chemical that has been linked to all tea but in very small doses. What makes this formulated tea unique is that it contains at least 10x more of this calming chemical than other tea varieties. In fact, for a tea to be given this label, it must have at least 150mg of GABA per 100g of tea. Also known as Gabalong (from “GABA” and “Oolong”), GABA tea was first produced in Japan by the National Institute of Vegetables and Tea Science. They found a way of converting glutamic acid to GABA in tea without affecting antioxidant or caffeine content. The tea has historically been limited to just Oolong and later was used with other tea varieties such as Puerh. We currently offer this product in tea bag and loose leaf formats in 36 gram amounts.
