New GABA tea flavors at TEAHOUSE. Choose your ideal relaxation

Quality tea has one interesting property: just when it seems you have already found your favorite, something new appears that you simply must try. This is especially true for GABA oolongs-teas with a distinct profile, multifaceted taste, and fascinating aromatic nuances.

TEAHOUSE already featured teas that managed to attract the attention of enthusiasts in this category: GABA Oolong №219 GABA and Milky GABA Oolong №220. And we know you wanted a wider choice! Therefore, we listened to your wishes and expanded our assortment with three novelties at once.

Meet: Honey GABA Oolong №1013, GABA Dahongpao №1015, and GABA Oolong “Umeboshi” №1014. Three different taste stories-ranging from honey sweetness to deep roasted notes and expressive plum hints.

What is special about GABA oolongs?

Before moving on to the novelties, let’s recall what makes these teas interesting. The name GABA is associated with gamma-aminobutyric acid-a compound whose content in tea leaves is increased through a special processing technology without oxygen access at a certain stage of production.

However, for tea connoisseurs, not only the technology and raw material features matter, but also what ends up in the cup. GABA oolongs can surprise with a soft, rounded taste, fruit and honey nuances, light acidity, and depending on the specific tea-also spicy, woody, or roasted shades.

And there is no single flavor scenario here. Much depends on the variety of tea leaves, their origin, processing, and the skill of the producer. That is why the three new TEAHOUSE positions are interesting to look at separately.

Honey GABA Oolong №1013 – when you want softness and sweet notes

If you imagine a tea where warm, rounded, and distinctly sweet notes are in the foreground, you should start your acquaintance precisely with Honey GABA Oolong №1013.

The dry leaves are tightly twisted, dark, with characteristic lighter inclusions. After brewing, it yields a transparent golden infusion with a deep, warm aroma.

Meadow honey, dried apricots, and sweet caramel are felt in the taste profile. Honey sweetness combines here with light acidity, thanks to which the taste does not seem monotonous. A rounded, somewhat oily texture adds volume to the infusion, and the aftertaste leaves a pleasant sweetish impression.

This tea should be chosen by those who love soft, rich tastes without excessive harshness. It is well suited for unhurried tea drinking when you want to focus on the aroma, notice taste changes from sip to sip, and simply enjoy the moment.

GABA Dahongpao №1015 – roasting depth and profile

The next novelty is for those who are more interested in complex, rich, and darker taste profiles. GABA Dahongpao №1015 combines the roasted notes characteristic of this tea with the features of GABA processing.

Dark tea leaves, twisted lengthwise, with a light natural sheen give a transparent infusion of a deep golden-amber color. Its aroma is rich, with expressive smoky and spicy notes.

Shades of baked fruit, rye crust, and dark honey gradually unfold in the taste. Then the noble bitterness of dark chocolate appears, adding depth to the composition. The taste is voluminous, multilayered, with light acidity and a long warming aftertaste, in which woody nuances remain.

GABA Dahongpao №1015 will be an interesting choice for those who are not looking only for tender sweetness, but love to explore tea through contrasts: roasted notes, light bitterness, fruit accents, and a deep aroma. This is a tea that you want to brew attentively, giving each steeping an opportunity to show new facets of taste.

GABA Oolong “Umeboshi” №1014 – expressive plum profile

The third novelty has a special fruit accent. The name “Umeboshi” refers to the Japanese tradition of salted pickled plums, but in the taste profile of this tea, plum shades play the main role, rather than literal similarity to the traditional dish.

The dry leaves consist of small, tightly twisted brown leaves. After brewing, the infusion acquires a transparent golden hue, and the aroma unfolds with dense, bright, and sweetish notes of ripe plum and fruit pastille.

The taste is rich, soft, and rounded. Plum accents combine with pleasant acidity, thanks to which the tea does not lose its expressiveness, and a long sweetish aftertaste leaves a feeling of harmonious completion.

“Umeboshi” №1014 should be tried by those who love fruit teas, but want to discover their more complex tea embodiment. Here, fruitiness does not mask the profile of the infusion, but becomes an important part of it.

How to choose your novelty?

All three teas belong to the GABA line, but their taste profiles differ noticeably.

• Do you love honey sweetness, caramel, and dried fruits? Start with Honey GABA Oolong №1013.
• Do you prefer deep roasted notes, dark chocolate, and woody shades? Your candidate is GABA Dahongpao №1015.
• Are you interested in ripe plums, fruit pastille, and delicate acidity? Pay attention to GABA Oolong “Umeboshi” №1014.

To better reveal the profile of each tea, start with a small amount of leaves and do not use excessively hot water without need. For steeping by multiple pours, try a temperature of approximately 85-90 °C, short steeping times, and gradually adjust the time according to your own taste preferences. This way you can track how the infusion changes from the first steep to the next.

And if you are already familiar with GABA Oolong №219 or Milky GABA Oolong №220, the novelties will be a wonderful opportunity to expand your personal tea palette and compare different taste directions.
