I was surprised that the author’s conclusion didn’t mention another model that looked consistent with the data: that theanine works slowly — over the course of a few days, not hours.

(I have no idea whether it would work like this. A placebo effect only is also consistent with the data.)

This was my experience. I'm not sure if that's "typical", although I've never really tried to take it like that.
