- maldusiecle 11y agoIt's the opposite with me. I can have coffee in the late afternoon, in some cases even in the evening, without problems--but if I have a tea after 3 pm or so, I'm sure to have trouble. Might have something to do with the strength of the tea, though.
- togedoge 11y agoDepending on the type of tea you drink, this could be due to the calming effects of l-theanine [1] in tea. I have the genes that extend caffeine half-life. If I drink an American large coffee, I get anxious. I can drink a whole pot or two of green tea and feel a nice lift in mood. As others have mentioned, any coffee after noon and I can't fall asleep until around 2am. I avoid caffeine most days except for the occasional morning kombucha.
