I composti del tè possono favorire il tono dell'umore e il sonno agendo su vie neurotrasmettitoriali condivise. È stato dimostrato che il tè verde a basso contenuto di caffeina migliora la qualità del sonno e riduce l'affaticamento negli adulti anziani e di mezza età. I componenti del matcha possono modulare i circuiti della paura attraverso la regolazione della dopamina e della serotonina. La L-teanina può ridurre l'ansia e migliorare il sonno senza indurre sedazione, potenzialmente attraverso la modulazione serotoninergica e GABAergica. Insieme all'epigallocatechina gallato (EGCG), può inoltre influenzare l'attività del BDNF. Gli estratti di tè possono influenzare l'asse intestino-cervello potenziando la diversità del microbiota, riducendo l'infiammazione e sostenendo la regolazione dei neurotrasmettitori.
