    Tea contains caffeine.

    Since caffeine has a stimulant effect to get the brain to fire more efficiently, caffeine is useful for keeping awake.As naming of caffeine came from coffee,
    coffee is  best known as caffeinated drink. But actually  red tea has caffeine much than coffee.

    Japanese green tea contains caffeine too. Sencha has about one-half of the caffeine contained in coffee. Gyokuro has about 4 times of the caffeine  contained in coffee! Unlike in coffee, the caffeine in Japanese green tea act gently as the stimulant. Because theanine contained in Japanese green tea inhibit the stimulant action of the caffeine. Therefore, it may be said that Japanese green tea has a optimum stimulant effect.

    If you drink a cup of Japanese green tea every morning, you have a lot of energy.
