GABA Oolong was developed by the Japanese in the late 1980's. GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid is a compound naturally produced in the human brain and is thought to decrease stress and anxiety. Many products in Japan, and increasingly in Taiwan and other Asian countries are now GABA enriched as it becomes more popular.
GABA oolong is produced much like other oolongs but adds an extra step in a nitrogen rich container. This results in increased amounts of GABA that can be extracted from the tea leaf.
