Levels of amino acid components in the two test tea samples ( Sagara - pink line; shaded white tea - black line) measured with the Amino Acid Analyzer (JEOL JLC-500/V AminoTac™, Japan). Peaks with numbers at the top represent 17 amino acid components. Results reveal an approximately three-fold or higher concentration in shaded white tea. Peak number: 1 aspartic acid, 2 threonine, 3 serine, 4 asparagine, 5 glutamic acid, 6 glutamine, 7 theanine, 8 alpha-aminoadipic acid, 9 glycine, 10 alanine, 11 valine, 12 cystine, 13 isoleucine, 14 leucine, 15 histidine, 16 lysine, 17 arginine.
