{"product_id":"gaba-reset-raw","title":"Gaba Reset (Raw)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the heart of Xishuangbanna — the cradle of Yunnan Pu-erh — where the climate has favored tea trees for centuries, artisans crafted Pu-erh following time-honored methods passed down through generations. Yet this land is fertile ground for more than tradition alone. About nine years ago, we began experimenting with a hybrid technique to create GABA Sheng Pu-erh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGABA tea is the product of anaerobic fermentation. During processing, the tea leaves undergo several cycles in a low-oxygen environment where nitrogen replaces the air. Under these conditions, the natural glutamic acid present in the leaves gently converts into gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), increasing its concentration manyfold. This transformation gives the tea a rounded, fruity-caramel flavor and a profoundly relaxing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this tea, we used leaves harvested from tea gardens on Dalongshan Mountain — not the terraced plantations with densely packed tea trees. These are traditional-style plantings where trees are spaced 2–4 meters apart and lightly pruned, allowing a full, voluminous canopy to develop. This slows the growth of young shoots, reducing the yield, but in return the tea develops a richer composition of flavor and aromatic compounds. Most of these plantings were established between the 1950s and 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaf processing was carried out on professional equipment designed for fermentation in a reduced-oxygen environment using nitrogen as a neutral medium. This method unlocks the full potential of the raw material and reveals the nuanced character of GABA tea — unlike vacuum processing, which can damage the leaves and diminish their flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe used the autumn 2025 harvest. The aroma carries herbaceous and dried-fruit undertones. The taste offers notes of grape juice and a light caramel note.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mu Long Gu Cha Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":59847759364177,"sku":"T-RW-016-25-200","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25g","offer_id":59850789814353,"sku":"T-RW-016-25-25","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/puerh.pro\/products\/gaba-reset-raw","provider":"Mu Long Gu Cha Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
