Eco-Farmed GABA Oolong Tea

Total disappointment

I don’t mean to criticize worthy and eco-friendly operation, but I have to be honest: it doesn’t taste like oolong at all. It tastes like mediocre English breakfast. The roasting process has completely ruined what was probably an excellent tea leaf to begin with.

Very Good GABA Oolong

Dark fruit notes you can expect from GABA oolong with natural sweetness. It is very good as a cold brew tea. Nice and refreshing on ice during a hot day. I like to brew this western and gongfu style as the flavor is strong enough to taste good with any method.

This tea had a malty, smokey, roasted flavor. The listing mentioned sweetness and fruitiness, which I got none of at the beginning, which was disappointing. The flavor did improve over the following steeps as the smokiness went away /a bit of sweetness finally came out when the tea became weaker, though. Edit: The sweetness and smooth mouthfeel improved a lot when I put in more leaves and brewed for longer, though there still seems to be a smokey dry-mouth taste I don't personally enjoy that much. Overall, I think I would buy this again for the GABA content/grounding feeling if not for the flavor.
