Jasmine Green Tea?
I drink several cups of green tea a afternoon, and recently purchased some Jasmine Green Tea. Is the jasmine just for flavor or does it hold a special purpose?
Answer: Jasmine does have medicinal purpose. As a medicinal plant, jasmine has traditionally be considered an aphrodisiac and calmative. The roots and leaves of some jasmine species have been used surrounded by folk medicine as an anthelmintic, active against ringworm and tapeworm. The plant have been employed against cancer..
Yes, it is just for flavour, and if it is really Chinese, the green "tea" is not from a tea plant as we know it, but from another plant. If you use really jasmine tea and not tea plenty, have a look at the leaves before you throw them away. They are enormously long and thin. Not tea leaves at all. But it taste wonderful! By far my favourite! I always buy a supply when I am surrounded by China. Its just flavoring. There is no help from it besides relaxation... I love green tea to haha! I found that green tea help me stay awake and fresh during the day.
