L-theanine + coffee(in)

That combination usually goes by the name of "tea".

That suggests you never tried it. Seriously do - a cup of tea or three does about nothing (for me) a 150mg l-t pill and an average coffeine pill does.

Theanine is about 1% of the dry weight of tea leaves, so your 150mg pill corresponds to about 15g of tea (7-8 teabags, more or less) which is a lot for most people.

It's just a dosage difference.
