"Dong Ding Style" GABA Oolong | oolong tea

Crafted in the rolling hills of Baguashan, this GABA Oolong is made using a specialized oxygen-deprived fermentation process that transforms the tea at a molecular level.

Processed in a Dong Ding-inspired style and finished with multi-step baking, this tea reveals a deeper, rounder profile than typical GABA oolongs. Expect notes of dried fruit, honeyed sweetness, and a smooth, slightly woody warmth, with a calming, steady finish.

Gaba tea was originally developed in Japan in the late 20th century, GABA tea is known for its elevated levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid — a naturally occurring compound associated with relaxation and balance. Rather than focusing on intensity, this tea offers a softer, more grounding experience.

It’s a tea for unwinding — ideal for evenings, slow conversations, or moments when you want to gently reset.
