A different kind of anaerobic fermentation—GABA-rich green tea that soothes the mind

The batch of green tea underwent anaerobic fermentation to produce GABA amino acids. The tea liquor is beautiful, with a dried fruit aroma and refined quality.🧡
 

This is another version of GABA green tea. It's normal for the leaves to appear darker in color. This batch was lightly sun-withered to create a smoother mouthfeel. While sun-withering is traditionally used for green tea, it's not very common. GABA is an amino acid produced through anaerobic fermentation, known for calming the nerves and easing emotions. This batch turned out exceptionally well — aside from the green tea's elegance, fermentation brought out a surprisingly sweet dried-fruit aroma. 
 

 
 
 

This season brings both rain and sunshine. Organically grown tea leaves don't grow uniformly—some are short, some tall. The tea master's dear mother helps by hand-picking and removing the overly long stems.

Tea can truly be something different. 😊
