{"product_id":"basalt-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g","title":"Basalt GABA Oolong Tea 2026, 50g | Tengchong, Yunnan","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA GABA oolong named Basalt (玄武岩) after the volcanic rock, fitting for a tea 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\"\u003eWhen brewed, a warm, multi-layered bouquet opens up: dried fruits and caramel combine with bread crust and a light smokiness, developing gradually from cup to cup. The taste follows through with fruity sweetness and caramel softness, a light apple sourness and a subtle minerality typical of tea from volcanic soils. The anaerobic GABA processing makes it especially smooth and balanced, finishing on a deep, warm aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe liquor is deep amber-gold, silky and smooth, coating the mouth with its caramel-and-dried-fruit character and mineral backbone. Across infusions it stays warm and even, the bouquet unfolding gradually while the long finish holds. It rewards both quick gongfu steeps and a relaxed Western pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA warm, layered oolong for anyone curious about GABA tea, and a satisfying one for experienced drinkers who want depth, caramel sweetness and a clear mineral edge without bitterness. The high-altitude volcanic terroir of Tengchong gives it the defined, mineral character behind its name.\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\u003eFruity sweetness, caramel, light apple sourness, subtle minerality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm, multi-layered, dried fruits, caramel, bread crust, light smokiness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm, smooth, balanced, mineral, no bitterness\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, cooler weather, relaxed 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, volcanic soil\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":63772490236281,"sku":"GB-GABA-10","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/basalt-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g.png?v=1781555165","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/ru\/products\/basalt-gaba-oolong-tea-2026-50g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
