Oolong teas - partially oxidized teas
Oolong teas are partially oxidized teas, typically in the 10-70% range. Thanks to the optional level of oxidation, Oolong teas offer the widest range of flavors among all tea categories. In addition, Oolong teas can also be roasted, again on many levels, which further develops their taste and aroma. Further processing gives them a variety of shapes, from long minimally shaped leaves to small rolled lumps. Traditionally, the most of the Oolong teas are produced in China and Taiwan, but they are slowly starting to appear in other tea-producing countries as well. In older tea literature, typically translated from the French, one may see Oolong teas referred to as blue or blue-green teas. Very often, Oolongs are incorrectly called partially fermented teas.

What is GABA tea?
GABA is gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is a chemical that occurs naturally in the brain. Many scientific studies say that when taken as a supplement, GABA can help lower high blood pressure and promote an overall sense of well-being. GABA tea is specifically processed with the aim that the naturally occurring GABA acid can be available in a higher amount than when a traditional processing of tea is used. Drinking GABA tea is one of the healthiest ways to increase your intake of gamma-aminobutyric acid.
Chinese cultivar Bai Ya Qi Lan 白芽奇兰
There are many tea cultivars for processing Oolong tea in southern Fujian, such as Tie Guan Yin, Jin Guan Yin, Huang Dan, Mao Xie, Ben Shan and many others. One of the famous tea cultivars from this area is Bai Ya Qi Lan 白芽奇兰, which is widely planted in the tea gardens of the Daqinshan area of Pinghe County. It is one of the four famous teas of Fujian, the other three being Tie Guan Yin, Wuyi Rock Tea and Zhangping Shui Xian. Bai Ya Qi Lan is a tea of unique quality. Although its processing is similar to that of Tie Guan Yin, it has its own very distinctive character. Bai Ya Qi Lan is the second most successful export Oolong from southern Fujian, sitting just next to Tie Guan Yin. We can freely translate the name of this Oolong as "the scent of a rare orchid".
