Maker’s Notes:

GABA Tea is one of a rare bread of teas that was initially developed, not only for its resulting drinking enjoyment, but rather for its purported health benefits. Recently introduced in the 1990’s, it was developed by Dr. Tsushima Tojiro of Japan’s National Tea Experiment Station. His work resulted in a procedure that increases the content of γ-Aminobutyric acid, or gamma-Aminobutyric acid, or even simpler, GABA, the acronym of the term.

GABA plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. Because of its calming and soothing effects, GABA helps to lower blood pressure, helps to control hypoglycaemia, prevents anxiety and promotes restful sleep. To an extent, it also regulates appetite, which is helpful in maintaining an optimal body weight.
