Green tea is packed full of a chemical called L-theanine (it
constitutes half of tea's total amino acids). L-theanine has the
benefit that within 20 minutes of imbibing your tea and for the
subsequent 120 minutes it can induce alpha wave brain activity which
both improves mental acuity and relaxes and calms the nerves. Theanine
is abundant in white, green and black teas and reportedly can relieve
both mental and physical stress, and even in repeated and high doses
has little or no adverse affects - physical or psychological - just
calm relaxation.

Yet, this group, comprising one would suspect more than averagely
heavy users of tea has seen recently across several threads repeated
outbursts, of panic, irritability and bile targetting (quite often
with marginal rationality) pollution, pesticides, heavy metals,
fluoridation and Chinese business ethics.

Do those on such short fuses really drink all the tea they claim - or
are we witnessing the emergence of a theanine resistant sub species?
