GABA Oolong

Gamma-aminobutyric acid  (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the nervous system.  It is a chemical messenger that alleviates the over activity of neurons in human brains.   



About 25 years ago, Japanese scientists discovered GABA tea in their attempt to preserve different types of food.  They uncovered that tea leaves exposed to nitrogen had high levels of natural GABA.   Some of the touted benefits of GABA tea include reducing anxiety, aiding sleep, and lowering blood pressure.

GABA Oolong is produced by replacing oxygen with nitrogen gas during its oxidation manufacturing phase.
