Recent research shows that an ordinary cup of tea is effective at alleviating anxiety & lifting mood.

The antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) along with the amino acid L-theanine & caffeine acting together actually improve mental health & memory.

It's not just an old wive's tale, it works.
