Why should I start drinking GABA Gold Tea?

Here’s 13 good reasons:

• It tastes good – pleasant, refreshing, plenty of flavor

• It feels good – who doesn’t enjoy a good cup of tea

• It’s the real deal – authentically satisfying, comforting, enjoyable

• It’s healthy – very healthy!

As you can see from the list of reasons above, it is not necessarily all about health claims as to why a particular tea or beverage is chosen. When it comes to tea, it is often more about whether you like the tea or not – the taste, the color, the feel, the vibe, the comfort, the story, the origins, the brand. Of course, the health and wellness factor is important as well, and our GABA Gold tea certainly ticks the health and wellness boxes, but we don’t believe a tea like this should be consumed solely for its medicinal properties.People all over the world love drinking tea. It’s more than just a healthy beverage. Simply taking time to enjoy a cup of tea can create a wonderful space in your life, a moment step back and relax, to get a gentle uplift and to feel good about yourself - as you sip and contemplate alone, or socialize and enjoy some tea with a friend.

The health benefits of tea work so well because simply taking time out have a cup of tea can in itself be a “pick me up” and a catalyst to naturally relax and release tension and moodiness, and get that feeling of “well-being” and back in control again. And this is where the magic of GABA really shines. It’s like a “comfort drink” and can make a noticeable difference in your day!

How it started

The Zi Chun Tea company started in 2010 with GABA Oolong tea as the first tea offered. GABA tea was quite unknown at the time in western countries – it was mainly being consumed by the Japanese.  In collaboration with a specialized tea-making family in central Taiwan, we launched and promoted GABA Oolong tea as our main signature tea product and began selling it wholesale to our new customers in US, Canada, Australia and Europe. As a result, it has increased more and more in demand and for the past 5 years has been our top selling wholesale tea.

4^th Generation tea-maker:

Our GABA Gold Oolong tea is grown and made on a small organic tea garden in Central Taiwan by a very skilled tea artisan. She was taught the craft by her father for many years and she now has the expertise and experience to become the 4^th generation of specialized tea connoisseurs in the family owned tea business. It is a pleasure to work closely with such a dedicated and highly skilled person. ZI Chun Tea started selling GABA Oolong tea on Amazon in 2016. As people become more and more aware of this unique tea, sales have steadily grown, and it is now our consistently top selling tea product on Amazon. Other tea companies, both on Amazon and via their own online and physical stores have also started to discover that GABA Oolong tea is indeed a very special tea and the demand is continuing to grow

Enter GABA Gold Tea!

According to a social media survey done by one of our influencer friends late last year, 84% of more than 250 respondents are drinking some kind of tea at least once a week. Yet only 8% have ever heard of GABA Oolong! So the challenge was how to make GABA tea known and enjoyed by the other 92%! We love this product ourselves and drink it daily, and by the reviews and responses we have been receiving, most people who try it, do enjoy it and end up buying more. It really is a unique and special super tea.

• GABA Gold contains the many health properties of regular Oolong tea including antioxidants EGCg and L-theanine. There are many purported health benefits of camellia sinensis tea – many of which are probably true, and scientists just need more time to study them. Here are some proven health benefits of GABA supplements and GABA tea that have been verified in recent studies
• Stress reduction. One recent study, which looked at how fortified GABA oolong tea affected student stress levels, concluded that “even a very small amount of GABA-fortified oolong tea leads to a significant effect on acute stress levels.”
• Lowered blood pressure. One study of 59 patients with hypertension focused on fermented milk with GABA. For participants who drank it for 14 weeks, “significant reductions in blood pressures were recorded.” While this study did not involve tea specifically, it does demonstrate the potential power of the GABA found in GABA oolong.
• Improved sleep: Improves quality of sleep
• Benefits for autism. According to one small, double-blind, placebo-controlled study from earlier this year, GABA oolong tea may improve sensorimotor abilities and anxiety levels for people with autism.
