A different starting point

If you usually drink green tea, GABA Oolong is a useful change of pace. Our tasting notes are toasty amber, stone fruit and smooth honey. These describe the flavour; the honey note does not mean honey has been added.

Brew a small first cup

Use the instructions on your pouch. For a first tasting, start with about 2g of leaf, water around 85°C and a two-minute steep. Strain the tea completely. Taste it before adding anything, then decide whether you want a lighter or stronger cup.

Try the leaves again

While you are enjoying the first cup, keep the drained leaves ready for another steep in the same session. Add fresh water and taste as you go. Stop when the cup loses the character you enjoy. The name GABA is not a promise about sleep, stress or any health outcome.
