Episode 2072:
Kris Gunnars explores the distinct effects of tea on the brain, attributing its unique, milder buzz to four key stimulants: caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and L-theanine.

Quotes to ponder:
The effect provided by tea is like being gently encouraged to do something by a loving grandmother, while coffee is like being kicked in the butt by a military officer."
