GABA Da Hong Pao

  • 产品描述
    • Commodity name: GABA Da Hong Pao

    GABA Da Hong Pao is a rare, anaerobically fermented version of China’s most legendary rock oolong (Wuyi Yancha). By processing premium Da Hong Pao leaves in oxygen-free conditions, the tea’s GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) content increases dramatically—infusing its signature roasted minerality with stress-relieving, umami-rich depth.
    It is philosophy in a cup—where the fiery cliffs of Wuyi meet the quiet wisdom of neuroscience. A tea for contemplation, not just consumption.

    Origin: China

    Tea Type: Oolong Tea

    Appearance: Tightly twisted, dark charcoal-brown with reddish highlights. Unlike traditional Da Hong Pao, GABA versions often have a slight glossy sheen from fermentation.

    Aroma: Stewed apricot, molasses, and a whisper of vanilla-like creaminess

    Taste
    First Sip: Bold charcoal-roast and mineral yanyun ("rock rhyme"), akin to traditional Da Hong Pao.
    Mid-Palate: GABA’s influence emerges—caramelized fruit (lychee, baked apple), dark honey, and a savory tang like miso or tamarind.
    Finish: Long and evolving, with lingering orchid florals + toasted nuttiness.

    Benefits:
    1. Stress & Mental Clarity
    GABA’s calming effect counterbalances caffeine (moderate in oolong), promoting focused relaxation.

    2. Digestive Aid
    Wuyi oolongs'natural alkalizing properties + GABA's gut-supportive role ease bloating.

    3. Metabolism & Circulation
    The roasting process activates thermogenic compounds, while GABA may regulate blood pressure.

    4. Antioxidant Powerhouse
    High in thearubigins (from oxidation) and GABA-bound polyphenols, offering anti-inflammatory benefits.

    Brewing Method:
    Water Temp: 95–100°C (203–212°F)—hot enough to unlock roasted layers.
    Steeping Time: 10–15 sec for initial rinses (awaken leaves), then 20–45 sec increments.
