What Green Tea Teaches Us About the Brain
Calm Focus
For over 4,000 years, green tea has been valued for more than just taste. Originating in China as a medicinal drink, it became a daily ritual across East Asia — prized for its ability to deliver calm energy, mental clarity and balance.
While black tea later took centre stage in the West, green tea returned to the spotlight in recent decades for its heart and metabolic benefits. Today, it’s gaining attention for something even more important: brain health.
The secret is L-theanine
Green tea contains caffeine, but unlike coffee, it also delivers a rare amino acid called L-theanine, found almost exclusively in tea leaves.
L-theanine crosses the blood–brain barrier and influences key neurotransmitters such as GABA, dopamine and serotonin — helping regulate mood, focus and emotional balance. The result is a state of relaxed alertness: calm, clear and focused, without the jitters or crash.
When paired with small amounts of caffeine, L-theanine enhances attention, memory and reaction time while reducing cortisol and stress responses. That’s why green tea drinkers often describe a steadier, more sustainable form of energy.
Supporting the brain long-term
Green tea is also rich in antioxidants that protect brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation — two processes linked to cognitive decline. Research from Japan suggests regular green tea consumption is associated with better cognitive performance later in life, helping to build resilience as the brain ages.
Ancient wisdom, modern support
While green tea remains a beautiful daily habit, modern life places far greater demands on our nervous systems.
Calm & Relax is inspired by the same principles behind green tea’s calming clarity — but designed for today. Using clinically researched AlphaWave® L-Theanine & Holixer™ Holy Basil 'Tulsi', Calm & Relax helps supports a balanced stress response, allowing the brain to rapidly return to calm focus rather than constant overload.
Small habits. Big impact.
Brain health isn’t built in a day. But consistent habits — from nutrition and sleep to stress regulation — add up over time.
By supporting your brain now, you’re investing in clearer thinking, emotional balance and long-term cognitive vitality.
