Description Jasmine tea is made from a combination of true tea leaves and jasmine blossoms. The jasmine flowers are typically harvested from one variety of jasmine plant known as Jasminum officinale. Today's aromatic jasmine teas come from one of the two varieties of the jasmine plant: common jasmine and sampaguita. Related to the olive family, jasmine flowers effuse a deeply fragrant smell with a sweet finish. This herbal tea is frequently sold as jasmine pearls. The delicate pearls unfurl as the tea steeps, creating a beautiful presentation. Health Benefit 1. Boosts Energy As mentioned, jasmine tea uses a true tea such as green, black or white as a base. True teas are teas that are made using the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which naturally contains caffein. The caffein content of jasmine tea can thus vary depending on which true tea is used as a base, although in general green tea is most common. A cup of green tea contains around 35 mg of caffein while a cup of coffee contains about 95 mg. Switching from coffee to jasmine tea can lower your caffein intake while still giving you that extra boost to make it through the day. The caffein in jasmine tea can help you focus better and stay alert. 2. Weight Loss Aid Losing weight can be hard, so having a little extra support on your side can make all the difference. Jasmine tea has been shown to aid in weight loss by speeding up metabolism thanks to its use of green tea leaves. A faster metabolism means your body can process nutrients and macronutrients (like fat and protein) quicker, leading to weight loss. A Japanese study published in 2010 showed that people who regularly consume green tea can have a higher resting metabolic rate than those who didn't (1). That means you can burn more calories and fat, even when you aren't working out. Jasmine tea is a naturally low-calorie beverage so you can drink up without worrying about packing on the pounds. Adding sugar or honey to your tea can increase the amount of calories, so use sparingly. 3. May Prevent Cancer Since cancer is a common ailment in modern society, the focus on prevention has increased as well. Fortunately, there is scientific evidence that drinking jasmine tea may help to prevent cancer by targeting free radicals. Jasmine tea contains high levels of antioxidants that help to eliminate free radicals in the body. Free radicals are caused by pollutants in food and the environment and can cause irregularities in cells that have been linked to neurological diseases and cancer. Depending on which tea is used as the base for jasmine tea, you'll reap the benefits of different antioxidants. Jasmine tea made with green tea is high in catechins while jasmine tea brewed with black tea leaves contains high levels of theaflavins. Jasmine green tea contains polyphenols and antioxidants including epigallocatechin gallate that has been shown to prevent cancer (2). According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, epigallocatechin gallate may protect cells from DNA damage caused by free radicals (3). Tea polyphenols can also inhibit cell proliferation and in turn slow down rapid progression of mutated cells. If you prefer jasmine tea brewed with a black tea base, you can still reap the cancer-fighting effects. Jasmine black tea has high levels of theaflavins, which studies have shown can inhibit growth of cancer cells and can even kill mutated cells (4). 4. Protects Heart Health Maintaining a healthy heart means you not only live longer, but you have a better quality of life. Drinking a few cups of jasmine tea a day can help keep your heart pumping optimally and limit the risk of dangerous diseases and expensive surgeries. The same antioxidants in jasmine tea that help to prevent cancer also work to ensure a healthy heart. High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to enlarged veins and arteries that lead to strokes, blood clots and heart attacks. Catechins found in jasmine tea can lower LDL cholesterol oxidation that leads to inflammation of arteries and veins. LDL cholesterol is also known as bad cholesterol and has been linked to a variety of cardiovascular health problems including high blood pressure (5). 5. Relieves Stress One of jasmine tea's most powerful and simple health benefits is derived from its delightful aroma. Mood depends largely on the state of the five senses and jasmine tea works directly on two of those senses to elevate mood and increase relaxation. Studies have shown the olfactory senses have a powerful connection to relaxation. The perfumed aroma of jasmine tea can trigger a parasympathetic response, which releases chemicals that help the body relax and unwind. Some studies go a step further in examining the sedative effects of jasmine tea aromas although results have been inconclusive and are ongoing (6). Naturally, taste is the second sense targeted by jasmine tea. Jasmine's sweet flavors induce a relaxed state while the fresh finish adds an invigorating essence that can perk you up after a long day. By drinking jasmine tea for stress relief, you're also forced to take a few minutes out of the day to refocus and relax. 6. May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is caused by the inability of the human body to regulate or produce insuli. Genetic factors and lifestyle choices or a combination of the two are the leading causes of diabetes. Drinking jasmine green tea can help to control or prevent diabetes by regulating insuli levels. A study conducted by BMC showed the antioxidants in green tea leaves lowered blood glucose levels in diabetic mice (7). This shows potential for people who suffer from blood sugar spikes or low blood sugar throughout the day. The same study demonstrated more stable glucose metabolism in healthy humans. By regulating glucose levels in healthy individuals, jasmine green tea can help to prevent diabetes when consumed regularly. 7. Improves Immune System Like most teas, jasmine tea has high levels of inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help to boost the immune system and protect against the common cold and influenza. A healthy immune system can also fight more severe illnesses and infections, making it extremely important to keep immune health at optimal levels. Jasmine tea also has large amounts of vitamins and minerals that boost immune health. Drinking a cup of jasmine tea can help soothe an upset stomach and delivers vital fluids that are needed to beat a cold or flu quickly. The fragrant aromas can also help you relax and make you feel better when you're under the weather. 8. Alleviates Aches and Pains Jasmine green tea has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce aches and pains associated with arthritis or joint pain. A study conducted by the American College of Rheumatology showed that the epigallocatechin gallate in green tea leaves could block painful inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis without negative side effects (8). 9. Benefits Skin Jasmine blossoms and the teas and essential oils derived from it have antibacterial properties and antioxidants that can help keep skin looking its best. While jasmine oils can be used topically on skin for wounds and scars, drinking jasmine tea can also offer excellent skin benefits. The powerful antioxidants and polyphenols in jasmine tea help to slow down the aging process by eliminating free radicals that can cause wrinkles and skin damage. These polyphenols also work to even out skin pigmentation and minimize fine lines. To reap the benefits of jasmine tea for your skin, you can consume 2-3 beverages per day or wash your face using a cooled cup of jasmine tea. |
