Lucent is built around matcha because of how green tea-based caffeine affects the body differently than coffee or synthetic sources.
One of the main reasons green tea and matcha feel different from other caffeine sources is L-theanine, an amino acid that naturally occurs alongside caffeine in the tea leaf. On its own, caffeine can increase alertness but may also lead to jitteriness or mental overstimulation for some people. Research shows that when caffeine is paired with L-theanine, the result is not only a smoother experience, but measurable improvements in attention, reaction time, and cognitive accuracy compared to caffeine alone. This combination has been shown to support sustained focus and mental performance while reducing common caffeine-related downsides. (PMID: 22214254, PMID: 18681988, PMID: 32753637)
We are not claiming this treats ADHD or replaces prescription medication. What we hear instead from some customers is experiential. For people who struggle with distractibility, cognitive overload, or difficulty sustaining focus, this formulation can support a clearer, calmer kind of attention that feels easier to maintain throughout the day.
