Green tea has healthful properties due to its antioxidants, aiding weight loss, and reducing abdominal fat. Jasmine green tea may promote relaxation, but claims of anticancer, aphrodisiac, and weight loss benefits lack evidence. Drinking jasmine green tea is generally safe, but those taking blood thinners should avoid it. Caffeine in green tea may negate calming effects, and decaffeinated forms may reduce potential health benefits. Overall, the taste is the main appeal of jasmine green tea.
Green tea, which is harvested earlier than the more familiar black tea, resulting in less oxidation, may have some healthful properties. It contains antioxidants, which may be shown to reduce the effects of aging, and studies on the tea are believed by many to suggest that it aids weight loss efforts slightly and is especially helpful for reducing a small amount of abdominal fat. Recently, there have been some questions about the health benefits of green jasmine tea, which includes jasmine flowers scented with green tea leaves. The scent may encourage the drinker to relax and there are some suggestions that jasmine may have additional benefits, but they have not been proven.
Jasmine is a pleasantly aromatic plant that has some potential health properties. It can slightly promote relaxation and calmness. Other claims, however, have not been proven. Jasmine has been touted as a potential anticancer agent, an aphrodisiac, and an instant weight loss cure. Given the research on tea, these claims have yet to be fully supported and people should take them with a grain of salt.
This does not mean that drinking jasmine green tea is unhealthy or without any health benefits. As mentioned, it can help calm the mood, and some studies suggest that being exposed to the aroma of jasmine alone can produce a calmer state of mind. Many other herbs offer similar benefits, but there’s little to suggest that jasmine additions to tea create any health problems for most people. Those people taking blood thinners such as warfarin, however, should be aware that green tea can have an effect on how the drug is synthesized by the body and it may be better if they don’t drink it.
One thing that challenges studies on the benefits of jasmine green tea, especially when it comes to calming the mood, is that green tea contains caffeine. Whether this would completely negate a calming effect is unknown, but those who don’t sleep well should avoid caffeine-containing substances for several hours before bed. Other herbal teas that do not contain caffeine could be useful in this regard. There are also decaffeinated green teas, but it has been suggested that decaffeinating the tea may reduce its potential health benefits.
As for whether jasmine green tea is good for people, one can only suggest that, for most people, it’s not bad. It may have some calming benefits and doesn’t appear to be dangerous. Those who should avoid caffeine at all times should only drink decaffeinated forms. For most people, however, it’s really the taste, more than any possible health effects, that make this tea appealing. Jasmine tends to sweeten the taste of green tea, and the aroma is often considered very pleasant.
