Green tea, especially matcha, contains L-theanine, an amino acid that calms your nervous system without making you drowsy. The video also covers Relora, an herb that reduces stress and helps you sleep better.

I think this is why green tea, especially matcha tea, tends to be calming, is because it's high in othenine. I also like relora. We didn't talk about that yet. Relora comes from philodendron and comes from magnolia, and it's a really nice calming herb. But it's also for perseveration. So if someone has that kind of.
