Tea is often touted in China and elsewhere as being responsible for many, many health benefits--some of these claims are surely unsupported, but given tea's popularity as a beverage in most of the world, there actually is a lot of research.

Tea drinking cultures have long believed that largescale consumption of tea (as in a tea ceremony) can be relaxing, whether this is caused mostly by theanine or other chemicals. My own experience bears this out. I am sensitive to anxiety, and will not drink coffee, because it gives me jitters. Tea has something in it that changes the experience for me--makes smooth and relaxing as well as stimulating (my heart-rate still goes up). No idea whether this is connected to cortisol.
