What is GABALONG tea?
GABALONG is a tea with a unique production process that increases the content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) – a neurotransmitter responsible for relaxation, mood stabilization, and improved sleep quality. This technology was developed in Japan in the 1980s and is still used today to produce brews with exceptional relaxing properties.
Although Taiwan is the largest producer of GABA teas, Shizuoka Gabalong from Japan is considered one of the best. Unlike the popular Taiwanese GABA oolongs, which have an intensely fruity and honeyed character, OMOIKANE – BIO GABALONG delights with a subtle harmony of flavors, combining delicate umami with a light sweetness and floral notes.
It's a tea with a unique flavor profile: delicate, fresh, slightly nutty, with a subtle milky note. Due to its low caffeine content, it is often chosen as a late afternoon or evening drink, and in Japan, it is also served to children.
Origin and production process
OMOIKANE – BIO GABALONG comes from Shizuoka Prefecture, one of Japan's most famous tea regions. Grown at an altitude of 100-200 m above sea level, it comes from Yabukita tea bushes, known for their rich umami profile.
The secret to the high GABA content in this tea lies in a special production stage:
✔ Freshly picked leaves are placed in an anaerobic chamber, where oxygen is replaced with nitrogen.
✔ The process takes several hours, during which the glutamic acid naturally present in the leaves is converted into GABA.
✔ The leaves are then dried and lightly oxidized, giving them their unique taste and aroma.
The result is a tea that not only relaxes but also positively affects brain function and the nervous system.
