CUSHLA GABA Oolong Loose-Leaf Tea — Taiwanese High-GABA Whole-Leaf, 30-Cup Portions

CUSHLA Taiwanese GABA Oolong is a high-GABA whole-leaf oolong tea from Taiwan crafted to deliver a rich, aromatic cup with naturally elevated levels of glutamic acid—the precursor to GABA.

GABA oolong is a specialty processing style developed in Taiwan that encourages the tea leaves to retain higher natural levels of glutamic acid, which can convert to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) during production. CUSHLA’s loose leaf selection uses whole, high-grade oolong leaves for an amber-orange infusion with light caramel notes and a smooth mouthfeel. Each reusable tea bag portion produces roughly 30 cups, suitable for hot or cold preparation and daily enjoyment.

What makes CUSHLA GABA Oolong different from regular oolong?

CUSHLA’s GABA Oolong is selected and processed to preserve higher levels of the compounds that precede GABA formation, resulting in one of the naturally higher GABA-containing tea leaves available. The leaves are whole and minimally broken to protect aroma and flavor during steeping.

• High-grade whole-leaf oolong harvested in Taiwan
• Processing emphasizes glutamic-acid preservation
• Distinct orange-brown infusion and light caramel notes
• Approximately 200 mg GABA precursor per 100 g in the finished leaf

How should I brew CUSHLA GABA Oolong for the best cup?

Brewing GABA oolong is forgiving and offers great results both hot and cold. Use water just below boiling for hot steeping, or cold-brew for several hours to draw out a smooth, mildly sweet character without bitterness.

• Hot brew: 90–95°C (194–203°F) for 2–4 minutes
• Cold brew: 6–8 hours in the refrigerator for a gentle, sweet infusion
• Leaf-to-water: about 2–3 g per 150–200 ml, adjustable to taste
• Multiple infusions: whole leaves permit 2–4 steepings with evolving flavor

What flavor profile can I expect from each cup?

CUSHLA GABA Oolong offers a medium-bodied, smooth cup with an approachable sweetness and subtle caramel tones. The finish is clean and gently rounded, with enough structure to be satisfying without heaviness.

• Appearance: orange-brown liquor
• Aroma: mild floral and roasted oolong notes
• Taste: light caramel, mild sweetness, full mouthfeel
• Aftertaste: clean, slightly sweet tip on the tongue

How much product is in each bag and how many cups will it make?

Each package is portioned to give a generous number of cups when brewed at typical strengths. The whole-leaf format stretches across multiple infusions, making it economical for everyday drinking.

• Each bag yields about 30 standard cups
• Whole leaves allow 2–4 infusions from the same portion
• Adjust quantity and steep time for stronger or lighter cups
