theanine
Calming tea compound
Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, particularly green tea.
It promotes relaxation without drowsiness and is often taken as a supplement for focus or stress relief: I take theanine with my morning coffee to smooth out the jitters.
The compound is credited with giving tea its calming effects despite its caffeine content.
