Episode 2072: Kris Gunnars explores the distinct effects of tea on the brain, attributing its unique, milder buzz to four key stimulants: caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and L-theanine. Unlike coffee's robust kick, tea offers a gentler, more sustained energy boost, enhancing alertness and focus without the wired feeling, making it an ideal choice for prolonged concentration tasks or for those sensitive to caffeine's stronger impacts. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/stimulants-in-tea Quotes to ponder: The effect provided by tea is like being gently encouraged to do something by a loving grandmother, while coffee is like being kicked in the butt by a military officer."
