Last year's GABA Oolong bar collaboration with Kim at Formosa Chocolates was such a hit, we had to repeat it for the Year of the Horse!
This exclusive bar is crafted with 11% tea leaves by weight, blended with cocoa butter, dark chocolate, and sugar. It is packaged in a limited-edition red envelope to welcome the New Year.
Tasting Notes: Dried persimmon, brown sugar, bread
Ingredients: Dark chocolate, cocoa butter, GABA oolong tea, sugar, and soy lecithin.
Net Wt: 50 g (1.76 oz)
Envelope Dimensions: 6” x 4.5”
This distinctive oolong is a consistent bestseller for good reason. The 2025 GABA delivers a full-bodied, thick broth with complex flavors that reminded me of slowly dried Japanese persimmons (hoshigaki) and fresh brown bread. It’s fitting that like the traditional art of making hoshigaki, this oolong’s exceptional character is developed through patient, meticulous processing that transforms simple leaves into something delicious.
