GABA content

The tea farmer ensures that a high GABA content is achieved through careful selection of the best leaves and his unique processing method.

GABA Amino Acid

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is a natural amino acid and an important non-proteinogenic, endogenous amino acid.

GABA is found in various amounts in certain foods and is also formed in the brain from glutamine. It is found in particularly high amounts in special green tea GABA tea (up to 400mg/100g), tomatoes (up to about 60mg), sprouted rice, certain fermented foods, potatoes (16-60mg) and citrus fruits (10-23mg).

Location, Cultivation, Processing

This tea thrives in the foothills of Mt. Fuji, which offers an ideal climate for tea cultivation. This region is extremely rich in crystal-clear, cool mountain spring water, which makes its way across the slopes into the Pacific Ocean. There enough rainfall and sunshine to grow hardy and aromatic tea plants.

Single Origin

This tea is sourced exclusively from the above-mentioned tea farm in Fujinomiya.

Brewing Guide

2 full teaspoons per 200-300ml (70°C) water.

For a mild, relaxing tea: steep for 30-60 seconds
For a strong, stimulating tea: steep for 2 minutes

Packaging

Packed in a particularly high-quality, airtight and BPA-free zip pouch to protect flavour. When closing the bag, squeeze out as much air as possible.

Recommended Teapot

To serve, a Banko kyusu made from 100% violet original Banko clay is ideal as it emphasises the umami and makes the tea less bitter. Alternatively, a high-quality black Tokoname-yaki Kyusu, which is suitable for all types of green tea and provides a more neutral flavour.
