Green Tea Shizuoka GABA Cha 1st Flush - character and origin from Shizuoka
Green Tea Shizuoka GABA Cha 1st Flush is a Japanese green tea from Shizuoka with a distinctive processing method. During production, the tea leaves are processed for a certain period in a low-oxygen, nitrogen-rich environment, which increases the natural level of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the leaves. The technique for GABA tea was developed in Japan and clearly distinguishes this tea from traditionally processed Sencha. GABA occurs naturally in tea leaves, but this specific processing method results in a higher concentration in the finished product. This First Flush from Shizuoka has a soft, lightly sweet character with pronounced umami and green, vegetal nuances. The distinctive GABA processing gives this Japanese green tea its own flavour profile and makes it interesting for tea lovers who want to discover other Japanese processing methods alongside classic Sencha.
