What is GABA tea?
GABA tea is a unique tea that contains an increased amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This tea is processed in a special way where the tea leaves are oxidized in an oxygen-free environment. This allows the leaves to absorb a larger amount of GABA. GABA is an important component responsible for regulating muscle tone, calming nerves, improving sleep, and balancing mood.
GABA tea was developed in Japan in the 1980s and has since spread worldwide. Taiwan is one of the largest producers of GABA tea today, offering a wide variety of varieties and flavors. The cultivation and processing of GABA tea requires special care and expertise to ensure the highest quality and best taste.
GABA has a variety of functions in the body. It is known for its relaxing and calming effects on the nervous system. It helps regulate muscle tone, which can lead to deeper relaxation and better sleep. Additionally, GABA plays a role in regulating mood and may help reduce anxiety. Also thought to be a natural sedative, GABA can help reduce stress and promote general relaxation. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with pain relief.
