A previous reviewer described this tea as grapenutty, and I agree. It tastes like what I imagine grapenuts taste like, I haven’t eaten them in two decades. It also has the slight taste of what I would describe as baked beans, slightly burnt. I steeped 6g four times in a 220 ml gaiwan with boiling water. First 15 sec, then 15 sec, 15 sec, and 30 sec. It is smooth and tastes a little like an oolong. It has a slight bitter aftertaste. Last time I brewed this tea I brewed it western style, this time I brewed it gongfu style. It definitely benefited from this steeping method. It was noticibly better than last time. The Gaba effect is there but very mild. Sometimes Gaba tea can have a serious effect today it was mild.

LOL grapenuts + baked beans….no wonder I didn’t like the GABA oolong I tried (it wasn’t Mandala’s)
The reason to drink Gaba tea is for the effect. It is not as good. And baked beans is not an accurate description, just the best I could come up with.
Not as good as regular tea I mean, they process it with nitrogen, changes the taste.
