The Amino Acid L-theanine works in conjunction with it, and often times (if it's good, full leaf tea and not bagged) will induce a mellow "awakeness".<br /><br />@bma - I run an online tea shop based out of California, and if you're looking for more tips on brewing kung fu tea, you should check out www.chanteas.com/kungfuMarlonmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301425116173432353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-5355400502683345482010-09-05T21:34:33.500+08:002010-09-05T21:34:33.500+08:00East Ocean Teochew Restaurant serves kung fu cha b...East Ocean Teochew Restaurant serves kung fu cha before and after the meal ( as far as i can recall ). I normally skip the 'before meal' offering as i'm afraid my empty stomach could not take it.
