GABA Green Tea

Simply put...

If you like something a little different, a little unknown, then this tea is for you : please purchase this tea knowing it is a little unusual

A golden green liquor hints at combination you find in the cup : a 'crisp' tangy fruit combined with a 'creamy smoothness' [two elements of character that are much more pronounced in Spring teas]

Harvest Time :  Feb 2022 [Pre-Qingming/Mixed Cultivar]
.
Cultivar : T-18 and Jin Xuan  Leaves combined before processing [please read more on Taiwanese cultivars by clicking on this link > Red Jade T18 is known for natural cinnamon and fresh mint, teas made with Jin Xuan leaves are often described as having 'creamy/milky tones & texture' with 'underlying smoothness and sweetness'. : with all GABA teas you often experience a crisp fruitiness so this combined with the use of leaves from these two cultivars perhaps helps us to start to understand the profile of this tea : creamy fruit tangi-ness!]
