Yunnan Sourcing GABA Oolong with osmanthus flowers via a trade with a tea friend. As I understand it, "GABA" teas are processed in an anaerobic environment which encourages the presence of Gamma-aminobutyric acid in the tea. Osmanthus flowers have a taste/smell similar to apricot or peach, you'll probably recognize it from herbal iced tea (tisane) at hippie cafes.

Is there any better tea than well aged gongmei/shoumei white tea? Maybe, but I just enjoy everything about well aged white tea. This is a 2013 Fuding Shoumei that Yunnan Sourcing sold a while back. One of the first teas I ordered from them.

A ball of white tea.
White tea in a bowl, check the color.
Nicely darkened leaves.
