![]() ![]() ![]() The Theanine and caffeine combination also reduces physical stress and gets the creative juices flowing.Ī good way to get your head around this caffeine issue is to visualize two rubber bands. You need both in the proper ratio to get that feeling. It’s this tango of caffeine and Theanine that gives you the bliss and clarity, the relaxed alert state, which is so pronounced when you drink green tea. What I find really interesting is what happens when Theanine mingles with caffeine. Coffee is the so-called acid trip you imagine it to be. It’s the bean, not the leaf, which makes your system acidic and jittery. Enter Theanine, green tea’s incredible amino acid, and the dance of caffeine mellows even more.Ĭoffee, on the other hand, doesn’t have this superpower combination. Because there is more to metabolize with the bond between caffeine and the catechins in green tea, it slows down the release so you feel alert and not hyper. Caffeine binds to the catechins in green tea and as they are metabolized and broken down, they “time-release” the caffeine into your bloodstream. Of course, we also know that it helps us stay awake when we are driving, gets us moving first thing in the morning, relieves headaches, and boosts stamina during exercising.Ĭaffeine acts differently in green tea than it does in coffee, but why? It boils down to metabolization. In studies in Austria*, caffeine has been shown to increase memory findings prove caffeine can stimulate hair growth on balding men** (I knew someone would do research on this!) it can help you recover 48 percent quicker from post-workout muscle soreness according to researchers at the University of Georgia and even eye spasms (blepharospasm) can be controlled says a study in The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Glorious caffeine! It’s been dogged to death and someone needs to redeem it…that’ll be me, thanks.Ĭaffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It makes them feel justified for not drinking green tea as if it isn’t healthy after all. ![]() This whole caffeine argument is the most opinionated topic there is on tea! People blindly spout off that there is more caffeine in green tea than coffee. It’s the biggest excuse I hear to shoot green tea down in flames. OMG! Green tea has way too much caffeine in it! I’m not drinking that.Ĭaffeine. ![]()
