enjoy tea You may already know the feeling you get from tea, whether hot or cold, tea can refresh and provide a break that helps you feel relax, focused and alert. Regular tea drinking helps maintain a feeling of alertness throughout the day (1,2). Scientists have linked this effect to the combination of caffeine and theanine. Theanine, is an amino acid found almost exclusively in tea. Researchers are continuing to investigate the role of theanine and its contribution to mood and mental performance. Theanine may help you focus your attention more effectively and concentrate better on tasks. (3, 4)
