Hong Yu Jade GABA Red (Black) Tea (also known as Red Jade or Ruby Red) is an internationally recognized premium red tea. It is one of the most unique and highest quality red teas in the world, grown and processed from the TRES #18 cultivar. The particular processing requires that the leaves, right after harvesting, are left to rest in an environment enriched with nitrogen and deprived of oxygen, to stimulate the production of the amino acid GABA, of which the product is very rich. The subsequent processing steps then follow the red tea production process: the leaves are rolled up, left to oxidize completely and finally dried. The malty and fruity sweetness of this tea, enhanced by fresh, slightly mentholated notes, will bring even those who do not like more tannic and full-bodied flavors closer to this type of product, excellent for health as it is rich in gamma-aminobutyric acid with countless benefits for our body.
