L-Theanine: The Calm in a Cup of Green Tea
L‑theanine, the calming amino acid in tea, supports relaxed alertness and may help ease stress and quiet a busy mind for better sleep. It’s generally well tolerated, but not right for everyone. WholeLife pharmacists and naturopaths can help you decide whether it’s worth trying.
Is Your Tea Bag Secretly Full of Plastic?
Many standard tea bags are sealed with petroleum‑based plastic, and steeping them in hot water can release billions of microplastics into your cup. Loose leaf tea offers a cleaner, more flavourful alternative, while Planet Organic provides plant‑based, compostable tea bags for those who prefer convenience.
