Nootropics - Harney & Sons Fine Teas
Your Cart

Corneliu Giurgea was a Romanian scientist that studied the brain and the aging of the brain over the years. In 1972 he came up with the concept of Nootropics. These are substances that:

  • They should enhance learning and memory.

  • They should enhance the resistance of learned behaviors/memories to conditions that tend to disrupt them

  • They should protect the brain against various physical or chemical injuries

  • They should increase the efficacy of the tonic cortical/subcortical control mechanisms.

  • They should lack the usual pharmacology of other psychotropic drugs (e.g. sedation, motor stimulation) and possess very few& side effects and extremely low toxicity.

Well, you came to the right place at Harney & Sons Fine Teas. Tea has always had a good reputation for helping the brain function better. It is that low dosage of the amino acid l-theanine and caffeine that stimulate and relax the brain.


Matcha teas have the highest levels of both of those naturally-occurring substances.
Also, there are several herbals that have developed a reputation for assisting with the gray matter between your ears.
