I've always found that tea, not coffee, has enabled me to concentrate more clearly on the task at hand..

Many people reach for a cup of coffee when they need to concentrate. People with flagging focus might, however, get more bang for their buck with a cup of tea.

A 2007 study conducted by Doctor Foxe found that theanine and caffeine synergise to boost the activity of brain neurons.

Thanks for this. I didn't have any data other than what I experienced.

With coffee I just feel energized but that energy isn't directed. With good tea (the loose leaf kind) I feel both energized and focused. I could never explain it but the article above might be the reason.
