What Is L-Theanine and Why Is It in Matcha?

L-theanine is an amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea (Camellia sinensis) — and matcha has 5x more than regular green tea because the shade-growing process concentrates it. L-theanine is naturally found in tea and traditionally associated with mindful tea rituals. It has been studied alongside caffeine, but individual experiences can vary.
