I recently had the pleasure of tasting Alishan GABA Oolong Tea, and it was a delightful experience. The first thing that struck me was its rich, aromatic fragrance, which set the stage for the first sip. The flavor was complex and layered, with a perfect balance of floral notes and a hint of fruitiness. The creamy texture was particularly impressive, making each sip feel indulgent. What I appreciated most was the soothing effect it had, likely due to the increased GABA levels. It's a tea that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also relaxes the mind. A truly exquisite brew, Alishan GABA Oolong Tea is a standout in both taste and tranquility.
Such a delicate tea with a gentle aroma and a delicious taste! My new favorite now!
I love drinking this tea in the evenings as I feel how it warms up & relaxes my whole body. It has an unmatched smooth texture and feeling that I haven't found in any tea before. Also the milky caramel note!
