The relaxing effect of green tea has been traced to a unique, neurologically-active amino acid called L-theanine (gamma-ethylamino-L-glutamic acid). L-theanine is a free (non-protein) amino acid. This amino acid directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness, similar to what is achieved through meditation. It has been compared to the relaxation effect of getting a massage or taking a hot bath. It also promotes a restful sleep by stimulating the production of gamma-amino butyric acid and dopamine.

Current areas of research include using L-theanine as a treatment for PMS, to control certain conditions of high blood pressure, sharpen mental acuity and as an anti-cancer agent.
