Da Yu Lin GABA Oolong is a pinnacle of high-mountain tea cultivation, sourced from one of Taiwan's most elevated and remote gardens. Here, tea bushes thrive on steep slopes, bathed in cool mist and pure mountain air with minimal direct sunlight. These extreme conditions, combined with a special anaerobic processing to elevate GABA content, forge a tea of extraordinary refinement, power, and aromatic complexity. The dry leaves are tightly rolled, dense, and emit a deep fragrance of wild berries, ripe stone fruits, and a hint of wine. The infusion is a luminous, golden-amber, clear and vibrant. The flavor is exceptionally bright and juicy—a vivid palette of berry compote (think raspberry and blueberry) balanced by a natural, refreshing acidity that creates a sensation of crisp vitality. The aroma is profoundly saturated and lingering, making each sip a memorable, rounded experience. The effect of this tea is as distinctive as its taste. Rich in naturally calming Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), it provides a stable, grounding, and deeply harmonizing energy. It helps release mental chatter, slows the inner tempo, and fosters a profound sense of internal stability, quiet focus, and serene clarity. It is the ideal companion for evening meditation, recovery after a demanding day, or any moment dedicated to cultivating calm. Brewing Recommendation for Vibrancy:
Water Temperature: 90–95 °C (194–203 °F)
Tea Amount: 5-7 grams per 150 ml
Steeping Time: First infusion: 20-30 seconds. Subsequent infusions can be shorter (10-15s). This tea unfolds beautifully over many steeps.
Best in: Gaiwan, porcelain, or glass to appreciate its pure color and evolving aroma.
A sublime tea for altitude in both origin and effect.
