I would not call it sedative, I would call it alert introvertion. Very
alert, actually.
Meaning that you are driven to a state when your self-awareness and
world-awareness are no longer (or less) affected by the fidgeting around
you.
That is how I explain why the name of Guan Yin is used in connection of tea.
Making me "listening to the sounds" is very much how tea affects me.

Hi all,

I've noticed that when drinking tea, specifically green (more specifically
Dragon's Well), I get into a tranquil and euphoric state. I feel as though
I've been tranquilized and do not want to move a limb. Is this mainly a
state of mind, or are there actually some chemical(s) in green tea that
have
this effect. Anyone else notice this?

Thanks,
