L-Theanine. Recently went through an interview spree. Helps me get rid of nervousness and focus on solving problems. Naturally found in tea leaves but obviously in small dosage. Can't confirm side-effects but sometimes gives me headache if I drink beer on the same day, particularly IPAs!

If you get good quality sencha, especially the (somewhat pricey) Gyokuro, you get a high dose of L-theanine and an absolutely delicious taste. One of my favorite pleasures in life!
