I smell a rat -- if a rat were a fragrant, beautiful tea!
Usually, our subscription has three 50g teas, but this cycle, we are trying something new! There are two teas, in 75g and 60g tins, which means we can spend a little extra on each one to provide an even higher tea quality at the same subscription price.
Jesse Says:
Red Jade is the bomb. It's one of my favorite Taiwanese teas and the Sun Moon Lake stuff in particular is the sort of thing I always get a bit of to bring back for the private stash. Make sure to enjoy the scent from the first steep, it's special!
OG fans of the Teahouse will remember we used to have a Red Jade tea on the shop back in 2022. I really liked that tea, but since I sourced that tea during COVID, when I couldn't travel and get my tea straight from the farms, it meant that I needed to feature a tea from a friend of mine's shop and meant the price was quite high and inaccessible for many tea drinkers.
Now, we have our own sourcing operation in China and are able to get the teas directly from local farmers. This means even higher quality at a better price, as well as allowing me to pack the tea into these 60g tins - bringing down the sticker price from before where people needed to buy 100g or even more.
This shade of blue and the circle theme on our packaging is based on the traditional art of the Thao people, a nation of Aboriginal Taiwanese who live near Sun Moon Lake.
Tea #2: GABA-192 Oolong Tea
1 x 75g tin (10-15 Sessions)
What is a GABA Oolong?
Claire, our design director, chose neurons as the theme of our GABA tin packaging!
Oolong tea is a tea type with the fragrance and freshness of green tea and also the deeper, richer tasting notes of red tea (known as black tea in the West).
GABA is a neurotransmitter protein which is created naturally inside the tea leaf as it undergoes the normal oolong tea-making process. As GABA has been associated with many good health outcomes, such as blood pressure reduction and stress relief, producers have started finding ways to increase the GABA in their finished tea leaves.
Recently, it has been discovered that by placing tea leaves inside a sealed chamber during processing, removing all oxygen and introducing additional nitrogen, tea-makers can a create a higher GABA count. Over 150 mg / 100g of tea is considered good, and our GABA has tested to contain 192 mg / 100g! This is why I named this tea "GABA-192."
Regardless of GABA count, this oolong is sweet, juicy, and tasty - a great choice for tea lovers of all sorts!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This tea contains Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), a naturally occurring byproduct of this tea’s special process. GABA is a common neurotransmitter and because of its calming properties, it can interact with some types of medications and have some mild side effects.
If you take/have taken medications for conditions involving seizures, depression, anxiety, or blood pressure, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please check with a medical professional before drinking.
Jesse Says:
I have always been a bit cautious of GABA oolongs, since a lot of sellers online seem to make GABA oolong out to be a wonder drug of sorts.
For legal - and transparency reasons! - I want to make it clear that this is not a drug and not meant to treat any specific illness or condition.
That being said, of the many claims about specific health benefits of tea, GABA seems to have some of the best scientific research behind it. If you want to know more about GABA, check out this brief from the National Institutes of Health.
In the end, I feel even better sharing this tea because whatever the GABA count is, it's just straight up a great tea. Floral, juicy, with a clean taste and sweet finish, it's a winner no matter how you look at it!
Do I need to pay for a year upfront?
Nope! When you click "Subscribe and Save!" you will get the discount immediately, but will only be charged for today's purchase.
New teas will be delivered once every 3 months and you will only be charged when each box ships.
I hope this will make the club more accessible to people who don’t have a years’ worth of tea money to spend all at once.
