Organic Jasmine Green Tea

Organic Jasmine Green Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, processed to create green tea, and then scented with the fragrance of jasmine blossoms. The tea leaves are typically withered, steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation, rolled, and dried. The jasmine flowers are often placed with the tea leaves during drying to impart their aroma and flavor.

Manufacturers add organic jasmine green tea to foods and beverages primarily for its distinct floral aroma and delicate, slightly sweet flavor. It is commonly found in tea blends, kombucha, ice cream, and other dessert items where its unique taste profile is desired.

Green tea contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which have been studied for potential health benefits. Some research suggests these compounds may play a role in cellular health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes tea as safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated green tea extracts, but specific health claims are often subject to ongoing research and may vary.
