Wild Honey GABA Oolong Tea 2026, 50g | Tengchong, Yunnan

A GABA oolong from Tengchong, Yunnan, where high-altitude gardens at 2300–2500 m grow on volcanic soils. The name points to its defining quality: a deep honeyed sweetness, the hallmark of a well-made GABA oolong. This is the fresh 2026 harvest, offered loose in 50 g packs.

GABA tea is made through anaerobic (oxygen-free) processing, which naturally raises the leaf's GABA content and, done well, yields a remarkably smooth, sweet cup with no sharpness. Here that translates into layers of tropical fruit and honey up front, opening into caramel, soft floral notes and a warm finish of vanilla and fresh pastry. Rounded, generous and easy to drink.

The liquor is bright amber-gold, clear and silky, coating the mouth with its natural sweetness. Across infusions it stays smooth and even, the fruit and caramel notes holding steady while the honeyed finish lingers. It is forgiving to brew and rewards both quick gongfu steeps and a relaxed Western pot.

An approachable, distinctive oolong for anyone curious about GABA tea, and an easy pleasure for experienced drinkers who want sweetness without bitterness. The high-altitude volcanic terroir of Tengchong gives it a clean, well-defined character that sets it apart from ordinary oolong.
