Hey, MiniteRambo! That's good to know. I've seen it at the grocery store before. I'm going to buy some on my next trip there. Thanks very much!
loco if you could get water decaffinated white tea. the reason most people drink this shit if for the ECGC, polyphenols etc which have numerous effects including cardiovascular, anti-cancer etc... however another reason is for the unique amino acid called l-theanine. anyway, the amino has anxiolytic properties through the mechanism of increasing alpha wave activity in the brain. basically when your brain is in the state its alert and relaxed, similar to what meditation produces. however, the amino may have some GABAergic effects which are responsible for the anxiolytic property.
but regardless, caffeine blunts the effects of well being this tea can produce, and water decaffination maintains all of it. l-theanine also have immunomodualatory effects.
so i would opt for real shit, not a mix, as flavanoids is a broad term that can mean anything from ecgc to rutin, so unless its defined i wouldnt make it my sole source.
