    I just googled it and it says this:

    Amino acids and fragrance substances in tea can calm us down. In late night, a calming tea can help us sleep better. Theanine’s calming effect is the long-term result of tea-drinking. The higher theanine content can effectively suppress caffeine’s stimulation in our nerve system.

      I think theanine has the best claim to this

      Edit: Sometimes I wonder if its legit more aromatherapy than pharmacotherapy. Ain’t hating on it, whatever fucking works :)
