შიდა ნიავი — SHIDA NIAVI
GABA Oolong · IMERETI
Pronunciation: [SHI-da ni-A-vi]
Pressed tea cubes. One cube, one cup.
Inside this pocket-box are 27 refillable tea cubes, perfectly balanced to meet your body’s needs.
Acquaintance
I’m GABA, the tea that the Teanium team dedicates the most care to. My pure chemical composition is their top priority, ensuring I deliver the best for you.
Character
Silent. Deep. Like silence after long noise. Not sedating — clarifying. The first infusion settles. The third opens. The fifth lingers.
A Note on Process
The exact technological sequence behind SHIDA NIAVI is held as Teanium know-how. What we share publicly is what matters: the leaf is fermented in an oxygen-free environment, and the result is verified GABA content of 150–200 mg per 100g — independently tested by laboratory. The chemistry is the proof; the process is ours.
About GTNS
SHIDA NIAVI is named according to the Georgian Tea Nomenclature Standard — the first open standard for naming Georgian tea, authored by Teanium. The name encodes the processing method (SHIDA — anaerobic fermentation) and the tea type (NIAVI — oolong). Read the full standard at teanium.com/pages/gtns.
