The Big Book of Kombucha Quotes

“L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and has positive psychoactive effects on the tea drinker. L-theanine plays a vital role in modulating the effect of the caffeine in tea, so that it is stimulating yet soothing; in contrast, the caffeine in coffee lacks the balancing presence of L-theanine and so delivers a jagged spike of stimulation that increases anxiety.”
― Hannah Crum, The Big Book of Kombucha: Brewing, Flavoring, and Enjoying the Health Benefits of Fermented Tea
