 The name comes from the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare". Turtle is the best animal that represents tea. Coffee is more like a rabbit that gets you a high dose of caffeine, so you sprint fast, but soon enough you crash. But the tea is like the Turtle that is old and wise. It's sipped slowly and over a longer period of time., and the caffeine with the L-theanin in tea will get you moving but keeps you calm and doesn't lead you to crash.
