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).

Organic Certification

Brewing Guide

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

For a mild, relaxing tea: steep for 30 seconds

Packaging

Packaged for us by the farmer in high quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouches.

Recommended Teapot

A banko kyusu made of purple clay with a fine ceramic sieve is ideal for GABA tea. It emphasises the umami and reduces the bitterness of the tea. Alternatively, a black tokoname kyusu can be used, which has a more neutral flavour (foundational for all types of green tea).

Recommended Storage

A high-quality tea caddy made of cherry bark (solid wood, kabazaiku chazutsu) is ideal, though any airtight tea caddy with internal coating will suffice.

The purity of our formulas is important to us. This is why we have both our raw ingredients as well as our finished products extensively tested by independent laboratories to confirm purity and active ingredient content. Here, we have provided the results of some of the tests carried out on this product.
