"L-Theanine is found in tea alongside caffeine and works to offset the hyper effect of caffeine, promoting a feeling of wellbeing. It supports the production of 'feel good' hormones dopamine and seratonin and also GABA, the calming neurotransmitter. It's a gentle, natural way to balance mood and reclaim your calm."
