GABA Fo Shou is an opulent and memorable tea that makes an impression from the very first sip. It is crafted from the esteemed Fo Shou ("Buddha's Hand") tea cultivar and further refined through anaerobic GABA fermentation. This dual artistry amplifies the tea's inherent depth, velvety texture, and natural roasted sweetness, creating a truly distinguished cup. The dry leaf is dark and tightly rolled, exuding a noble, baked aroma reminiscent of premium dark oolongs. The infusion is dense, with a rich golden-amber hue, saturated with scents of baked stone fruits, honey, orchid, and subtle woody notes. The flavor profile is one of confident richness: a warm, roasted sweetness forms the core, beautifully layered with floral tones, a soft fruity depth recalling ripe plum, and a lingering honey-orchid finish. The mouthfeel is exceptionally silky and enveloping, leading to a long, profoundly satisfying aftertaste. The effect is perfectly harmonizing. Enhanced by natural GABA, this tea relaxes the body and calms the mind, while simultaneously fostering a sense of lucid clarity and light inspiration. It gifts a pleasant mood elevation—a clear "tea brightness" or gentle "tea high"—without any drowsiness. Ideal for friendly gatherings, tasting sessions, evening conversations, or any moment you wish to savor a truly expressive and uplifting oolong. Brewing Recommendation for Opulence:
