Generally speaking, jasmine tea is incredibly healthy with little to no side effects. However, it does contain caffeine, which may cause issues for some people. Side effects of ingesting too much caffeine include anxiety, restlessness, jitters, and stomach issues.
Pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake as it may raise miscarriage risk.
Jasmine tea also contains catechins, which could reduce your body’s ability to absorb iron from foods. In high quantities, catechins may increase your risk of iron deficiency anemia. Still, this mostly applies to people at risk of iron deficiency, including pregnant women, young children, and people with dietary restrictions.
That said, if you’re at risk of iron deficiency, consider drinking jasmine tea between meals instead of with meals — or waiting at least an hour after eating to drink the tea. *
