The benefits of jasmine tea

Jasmine tea is one of the oldest scented teas in the world. Behind its floral softness, it carries the qualities of green tea - enriched by the quiet presence of the flower.

Drinking jasmine tea is not only about seeking a fragrance. It is drawing on a plant studied for centuries, both for its taste and for what it offers body and mind.

A natural source of antioxidants

The green tea used as the base of jasmine tea is rich in catechins, especially EGCG. These compounds help protect cells against oxidative stress.

Enjoyed regularly and in moderation, jasmine tea belongs in an attentive diet.

A quiet ally for digestion

Sipped warm after a meal, jasmine tea has long been valued for its soothing effect on digestion. The light fragrance of the flower gently lifts the sense of heaviness.

Gentle caffeine, clear focus

Jasmine tea contains caffeine, but paired with L-theanine, an amino acid unique to tea. Together they produce a calm alertness - the mind clears without agitation.

A calming effect, carried by the flower

In aromatherapy, jasmine is known for its relaxing quality. In tea, this scent is not added - it is transmitted to the leaf through contact, across several scenting cycles.

The result is not a flavoured tea, but a tea inhabited by the flower.

In summary

• - Rich in natural antioxidants (catechins, EGCG).
• - Traditionally aids digestion.
