Decaf GABA Oolong · Nº 6

Decaf GABA Oolong · Nº 6

A naturally farmed decaffeinated GABA oolong from Pinglin, produced through an oxygen-free fermentation that encourages the development of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring compound associated with relaxation. Soft fruit and floral notes unfold gradually across the palate, giving way to a rounded sweetness and gentle warmth. Comforting yet refined, it is a tea well suited to late afternoon or evening.
