Green Tea

Alright, so, I'm not even sure if this is the place to post, and there's probably similar threads.
But today, i thought f*** it, and bough two random packs of green tea. The lady said "this is the good stuff". I don't know how to feel about that, but I bought it. The tea is called "Pukka supreme matcha green" and apparantly it contains: 100% organically grown and ethically sourced ingredients.
Sencha green tea (34%) Oothu green tea (32%) Suoi Gang green tea (Doesn't say how much)
So it seems there's diffeent types of green tea mixed together into one.
But let's cut to the point: I don't know much about what exact ingredients in green tea make you more prone to achieving lucidity, so will this right here do the trick? Picture below.

Maybe. The two ingredients (that I know of) that would aid with attaining lucidity would be l-theanine and caffeine. Taken on a WBTB (and as long as you are not sensitive to caffeine!) The green tea could assist from simply being a weaker dose of caffeine that will not keep you awake, but will keep you alert enough for LDing.

There will not be enough l-theanine in the tea to make a difference, most likely. Good luck!

You could also buy L-Theanine supplements.

You probably have to brew a few bags to get the desired amount of caffeine without drinking too much water. I'd imagine it won't taste as nice. Better enjoy these teas

and get pure matcha powder if you insist on drinking tea (it has a higher l-theanine and caffeine contents).

Of course you could give it a try and let us know how it goes. We have a great thread about caffeine by the way.
