About Green tea with jasmine
Green tea with jasmine is a blend of traditional green tea leaves and jasmine blossoms. Originating from China, jasmine tea has been popular for centuries, particularly in East Asian cuisine, where it is often served during meals or ceremonies. Green tea is known for being minimally processed, preserving its antioxidant properties. A cup of jasmine green tea typically contains no calories and is rich in polyphenols, specifically catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and provides small amounts of vitamins such as vitamin C. It is also caffeine-containing, though generally less so than coffee, making it a soothing yet mildly stimulating beverage.
Health Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants like catechins (e.g., EGCG), which help reduce oxidative stress and may protect against cell damage.
- Contains moderate levels of caffeine and theanine, which together support alertness and promote relaxation.
- Polyphenols in green tea may support cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store jasmine green tea in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its flavor and nutrients. Use fresh, filtered water and steep at 160-180°F (70-80°C) for optimal taste.
