Matcha contains caffeine bound to L-theanine and the compound theophylline, which together provide a slow, steady release of energy—unlike the rapid spike and crash associated with coffee. This combination also supports adrenal function and avoids overstimulation.

L-Theanine in matcha promotes alpha brainwave activity, which induces a calm yet alert mental state. It also stimulates production of dopamine and serotonin, improving mood and reducing anxiety.
Nobre et al., 2008 – Biological Psychology
Matcha is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that stimulates the production of alpha brainwaves, promoting a calm yet alert state of mind. This enhances concentration, mental clarity, and sustained focus without the overstimulation caused by coffee. L-theanine also supports the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with improved memory, learning, and mood.
