What is Tea?

Tea deserves its own accounting because it is substantively different from what Starbucks and Coca-Cola sell under the tea brand. Traditional green, black, and white teas from Camellia sinensis contain caffeine at considerably lower doses than coffee: 30 to 70 mg per 8-ounce cup, compared with 95 to 200 mg for drip coffee. They also contain L-theanine, an amino acid that modulates the CNS effects of caffeine by promoting alpha-wave brain activity, producing alertness without the anxiety and cardiovascular spike that pure caffeine generates. The combination appears to explain why green tea at moderate doses is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in large Asian cohort studies, while high-dose coffee consumption shows more mixed cardiovascular data.
