Osmanthus tea is often referred to as olive tea and carries all the wonderful health benefits of loose leaf herbal teas. It hails from Asia and can be found growing in countries like China, Japan and Korea. Osmanthus tea is a flowering bud tea and gives off a flowery scent when in hot water. Similar to other flowering teas, like rose tea ,it’s quite elegant and pleasing to the eye. It can be left to float in the tea cup or strained if preferred. Either way the benefits of Osmanthus tea are incredible!
So let’s get into the benefits of Osmanthus tea:
Reduces inflammation
It reduces inflammation in the body! Inflammation creates the breathing ground for disease. Osmanthus tea and all the teas we feature on Baudelique, reduce inflammation and increase immunity. Yes they help in weight loss efforts but we believe that no singular ingredient should be depended on for weight loss or control.
Helps with allergies
Osmanthus tea might be an answer or aid for allergy sufferers as a natural alternative to controlling congestion and reducing mucus. Drinking a warm cup of this tea could help free up air passages and make breathing noticeably easier.
Better digestion
Gut issues like bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation are quickly alleviated with a cup of hot Osmanthus tea. It settles the stomach and is also good for calming symptoms like menstrual cramps.

Helps with bad breath
If nothing else this one should make you pour a cup of Osmanthus tea. Because it helps with reducing inflammation and clearing gut issues as mentioned above Osmanthus tea does the same for the oral environment. It helps to prevent bad breath and keeps the mouth flora healthy. Of course brushing and flossing and dentist visits are still necessary.
