GABA Tea King Oolong 2026, 50g | Tengchong, Yunnan

GABA Tea King (嘎巴茶王) is the flagship of our GABA oolong line, the title "tea king" traditionally marking a tea of competition quality. It is grown in a pristine tea garden on volcanic slopes at around 2,500 m in Tengchong, Yunnan, a region set among 99 volcanic craters. The fresh 2026 harvest, offered loose in 50 g packs.

Everything about it is done by hand. The fresh leaves are hand-picked to the strict one-bud-two-leaves standard, and the entire production is fully manual. Made from select Tengchong material, it is produced through anaerobic (oxygen-free) processing, which naturally raises the leaf's GABA content. The unique volcanic terroir and careful fermentation give it a rich flavour and a distinctive aroma, smooth and balanced with no harshness.
