Straight from the mouth of the Tea Maestro himself:
"The major modifier for tea drinkers is the presence of L-theanine. This amazing amino acid has a relaxing effect brought about by increased alpha-brain-wave frequency, long associated with a relaxed but alert state of consciousness. That's why tea has been used for centuries in meditation."
Bruce Richardson, 2011 "The Buzz: About Tea and Caffeine." Tea Time 8(4):16.
