This is interesting, but I'm always suspicious of articles that seem to hand-pick their science. This isn't a critique of tea being good for you (I'm sipping on a chai right now and feeling dandy) but a little healthy skepticism from seeing years of nutrition/health effects studies contradict each other. For more detailed thoughts on the problem see John Ioannidis' "Why Most Published Research Findings are False."

Especially when it comes from a website which sole purpose seems to promote tea and sell tea-related products.
(Not that it's a bad thing per se, of course.)

All teas contain L-theanine. I too am skeptical about all of the health-information swirling around about teas these days, which is why I researched this topic and wrote about it.
