Tea Tasting Ruby Gaba Oolong

Описание: 2026-1-4
Happy New Year everybody!!
My first stream of the year started with a beautiful Gaba Oolong.
A tea with many brewings, different layers and a kick.
I had to bring my husband his tea because the cat fell asleep on his lap. Eventually he himself fell asleep.
Note: Looking back it seems that my teacam is blurry.

GABA stands for:
"Gamma Amino Butyric Acid.
It is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which means it calms nerve activity and has a calming effect on the body"
