The Multiple Benefits of Jasmine Tea

Jasmine tea is a traditional favorite of almost all tea lovers. That is because this ancient brew can offer lots of healthy benefits and has a very unique and tasty flavor. Most importantly, this type of tea comes in different variants such as the Jasmine pearl tea or dragon pearls which were grown in the lush uplands of Fujian province in China. And with the introduction of the flowering tea, you will definitely enjoy not just the healthy benefits of Jasmine, but also its aesthetic beauty and design.

A Jasmine pearl tea is typically scented and produces a relaxing aroma. For the Jasmine flower tea, the buds of Chrysanthemum and Amaranth are usually included in the packaging. So when the Jasmine pearl tea blossoms in the tea pot, you can smell the sweet floral hints of Chrysanthemum and Amaranth as well as the lively scent of Jasmine. Such combination of aromas can relieve stress and body tension. That is why a Jasmine pearl tea is a favorite of tea lovers who want to indulge in its relaxing scent. You can also serve this tea for your guests to make them more relaxed and at ease.

Mountain grown Jasmine dragon tea on the other hand has a very healthy and rich antioxidant properties. Retention of the antioxidant component of the Jasmine tea can be attributed to the fresh mountain environment in Fujian, China and early picking of the jasmine green leaves. Because of these, a Jasmine dragon tea can be considered as a complete pharmacy in a cup. It has a known anti-aging component as well as fat burning quality. The most significant impact you can get from this tea is its promotion of healthy skin. Your age will not show on your skin if you are a regular green tea drinker. If you can keep yourself younger and healthier, then you can prevent other diseases that may be related to aging.

Aside from the healthy benefits that you can get from Jasmine tea, it can also be used as a special decorative object. This is particularly true if your Fujian grown Jasmine is blossoming. A blossoming Jasmine tea is made by expert tea masters of China. It is hand sewed or hand tied and wrapped carefully in tin foil packaging. Once you steep the blossoming Jasmine in warm water, the exquisite floral design and decoration will slowly unfurl before your eyes. It is inadvisable to pour boiling water over the blossoming tea. This will make your tea bitter and it could damage the delicate design of the blossoms.

What you should do is to pour the boiling water in an empty glass tea pot. Leave the boiling water for at least two to three minutes then slowly drop the flowering Jasmine tea in the warm water. After a while, you will witness the elegant transformation of your tea into a beautiful flower arrangement. You can now drink the tea or serve it to your guest. The tea can still retain its flavor after several steeping. After using the blossoming tea, you can transfer it into another jar and soak the blossom in cold water. Your blossom tea can now serve as decorative material and could last for at least five days.
