Comment on Earl Grey tea intoxication (2022)parent

Comments

I seem to remember that tea has another molecule that balances the negative effects of caffeine. Now let me try to find that information back...

EDIT: It's called theanine : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9anine

It doesn't really balance it all that much. I still get jitters from green tea.

Interesting.

I am quite sensitive to caffeine and yet I regularly drink green tea, typically around a liter and never get that weird anxiety I get from too much coffee. Maybe it's just that tea has less...

On the other hand green tea gives me nausea if I didn't eat anything in the morning.
