Tea (Jasmine)

What is Jasmine Tea?

Jasmine tea is a fragrant tea traditionally made by blending green tea leaves with jasmine blossoms, allowing the floral scent to infuse the tea. The process involves layering jasmine flowers with tea leaves, which absorb the aroma and flavor of the blossoms. Jasmine tea can also be made using other types of tea, such as white or black tea. It is known for its delicate, sweet flavor and calming properties, making it a popular choice for relaxation and enjoyment.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Jasmine Tea?

Intolerance to jasmine tea can result from several factors. It could be due to an allergy or sensitivity to the compounds found in jasmine flowers or the tea leaves themselves. Symptoms of intolerance might include digestive issues, headaches, or skin reactions. 

Caffeine content in jasmine tea might also cause adverse effects in individuals sensitive to caffeine. Additionally, if the tea contains additives or preservatives, these could trigger intolerant reactions.

What Can I Do About It?

If you suspect an intolerance to jasmine tea, it is best to avoid consuming it. Opt for herbal teas that do not contain jasmine or other ingredients that might cause a reaction.

They may suggest alternative teas or beverages that are less likely to cause adverse reactions. Keeping a food diary to track symptoms and potential triggers can also help manage and avoid intolerances.
