GABA Tea - Tea that helps you sleep
GABA tea is great for people who do not want to stay awake after drinking tea. It does not go through the chemical process of de-caffeination but uses a processing method that uses the natural chemistry of the tea plant. The harvested leaves of a tea plant have to undergo oxygen-free oxidation for the chemical reaction in the tea leaves to produce a large amount of GABA molecules. In GABA tea, the amount of caffeine remains the same in the tea leaf under processing; however, the effect of caffeine is negligible when compared to the effects of the GABA molecules.
ORIGIN
This single-origin tea comes from a northern cooperative in Taiwan.
