Theine

Theine is a natural stimulant found in tea leaves, chemically similar to caffeine, and responsible for the energizing effect of tea. When consumed, theine stimulates the central nervous system, enhancing alertness and reducing fatigue. Unlike caffeine in coffee, theine's effects are often milder and more sustained, partly because of other compounds in tea that modulate its impact. It’s commonly appreciated for providing a gentle boost without the jitters sometimes associated with coffee. Overall, theine contributes to tea’s reputation as a beverage that can improve focus and mood while offering a more balanced stimulant effect.
