Jasmine tea is sometimes made from green or pouchong (Chinese green) tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. The jasmine flowers are harvested during the day and stored in a cool place until night. During the night, the flowers bloom with full fragrance. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process. The quality of jasmine tea is determined by the quality of green tea used as its base and the effectiveness of the scenting.
There are many herbal teas available, and jasmine tea is a good option. However, it is a good idea to alternate different herbal teas in order to get a number of beneficial substances from different teas. It has been proposed that jasmine tea has anticancer benefits. This may be true, but many herbs have anticancer benefits and there is no reason to suspect jasmine tea is any more beneficial than other herbal teas.
