Overview

Also known as L-theanine and L-γ-glutamylethylamide, Theanine is the key to matcha’s energy-boosting success. When partnered with caffeine, as it is in matcha, theanine helps to slow the entrance of caffeine molecules into the bloodstream. This means that instead of getting a quick jolt of energy followed by a crash, matcha drinkers experience a day-long energy boost. But, that’s not the only benefit of this powerful amino acid.

Theanine is also the reason that you don’t feel anxious, get jitters, suffer from nausea, or have headaches when you drink matcha.

“L-THEANINE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES ACTIVITY IN THE ALPHA FREQUENCY BAND WHICH INDICATES THAT IT RELAXES THE MIND WITHOUT INDUCING DROWSINESS”
When l-theanine interacts with your brain, it increases the production of alpha waves in the brain. Alpha waves are an indication that your brain and body are relaxed. Typically we see them when falling asleep, meditating, or relaxing. But, they aren’t associated with a drop in energy levels. In fact, studies show that you feel just as awake as you do when they aren’t dominating your brain chemistry. The increased production of alpha waves as a direct result of theanine is why you don’t feel anxious or jittery when you drink matcha.
