{"product_id":"sapphire-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g","title":"Sapphire GABA Oolong Tea 2026, 50g | Tengchong, Yunnan","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA GABA oolong named Sapphire (蓝宝石) after the precious blue gem, grown on the volcanic soils of Tengchong, Yunnan, at high altitude. It is produced through anaerobic (oxygen-free) processing, which naturally raises the leaf's GABA content and yields a remarkably smooth cup with no harshness. The fresh 2026 harvest, offered loose in 50 g packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhere our Lishan GABA Oolong leans toward ripe, cooked fruit, Sapphire is all about sweet fresh fruit: clear notes of nectarine, ripe peach and dates. The flowering is very pronounced yet hard to pin to a single bloom, more like the heady scent of a tropical flower in a Southeast Asian botanical garden or rainforest. Above all it is balanced and harmonious, which is no small thing when some GABA oolongs turn heavy and overpowering from the fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe liquor is clear amber-gold, silky and smooth, coating the mouth with its fresh-fruit sweetness. It holds its fruit-and-flower character steadily across many infusions, the notes simply softening as the session goes on, and rewards both quick gongfu steeps and a relaxed Western pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA distinctive, beautifully balanced oolong for anyone curious about GABA tea, and a rewarding one for experienced drinkers who want fruit and florals without the heaviness GABA can bring. The high-altitude volcanic terroir of Tengchong gives it a clean, well-defined character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGABA oolong tea, Wulong, anaerobically processed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNectarine, ripe peach, dates, sweet fresh fruit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePronounced tropical floral, sweet and fresh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced, harmonious, smooth, no bitterness or heaviness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaytime, afternoon, relaxed tea sessions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGongfu cha, Western style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTengchong, Yunnan, China (please confirm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoose leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eBrewing guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/blogs\/tea-journal\/how-to-brew-chinese-tea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn how to brew Chinese tea and gongfu cha properly to get the best flavour and aroma.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e🍃 \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is GABA tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"GABA_ARTICLE_URL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn how GABA tea is made and what makes its smooth, sweet character unique.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gaba king","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63767316070777,"sku":"GB-GABA-6","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/sapphire-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g.png?v=1781534195","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/products\/sapphire-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
