The tea leaf is not just a small plant, but a true biochemical factory where the unique powers are created, giving Georgian tea—especially the Taba Tea Wellness and Healing lines—its exceptional composition. A fresh tea leaf consists of 70% water and 30% solid matter. It is precisely this 30% that creates the tea’s flavor, aroma, and beneficial health properties.
The solid fraction concentrates the most valuable components of tea. Chief among them are polyphenols—powerful natural antioxidants known for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. Polyphenols are responsible for the tea’s bitterness, briskness, and protective action.
Amino acids (1–4%) play a special role, including L-Theanine, which gives the tea infusion a soft, “umami” tone while simultaneously aiding concentration and reducing stress. This is one reason why Taba’s Georgian tea is ideal for a daily wellness routine.
The source of the tea leaf’s natural energy is caffeine (about 5%). Its effect differs from coffee—tea releases energy slowly and steadily, which is why Georgian tea is often viewed as a panacea for “calm energy.”
The leaf also contains important pigments and minerals that determine the tea’s color, structure, and balanced nutritional value.
It is the presence of all these elements together that turns the tea leaf into a true biochemical marvel. Our hand-picking method and natural production at Taba ensure that this natural chemistry is preserved without alteration.
