This anaerobic process converts a large portion of the glutamic acid contained in the leaves into gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eIn terms of flavor, GABA Oolong differs significantly from classic Oolong. The cup usually shows a strong, amber to reddish color. At first, a gentle, often fruity note dominates—many describe it as reminiscent of ripe apricots, plums, or dried fruit—paired with a pleasant, round sweetness. The anaerobic production significantly reduces the perceptible astringency, which keeps the tea remarkably soft and mild, with a slightly buttery finish. Even with a longer steeping time, there is hardly any bitterness. The roasting process can add further malty, slightly spicy, or toasted nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThis GABA Oolong from the Chinese province of Fujian is an exciting taste experience for anyone interested in an unusual, traditional processing method and a pleasantly calming effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did we include this tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis GABA Oolong is Lina's personal favorite Oolong.
