Cholesterol Tea is made from a blend of the following teas:
Ginger Tea
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) tea is often documented for its digestive benefits; however, research indicates that it is able to lower cholesterol as well.
One study published in the journal Pharmacognosy Research in 2013 found that ginger extract lowered LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol with a similar effectiveness as a common cholesterol-lowering medication called atorvastatin.Another study published in the Saudi Medical Journal in 2008 found that ginger significantly reduced triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), and total cholesterol when compared to a placebo group taking lactose capsules.
Hibiscus Tea
The most common hibiscus used for tea is Hibiscus sabdariffa. Due to its antioxidants, hibiscus tea may be able to help those with dyslipidemia manage their high triglycerides and high cholesterol levels. High cholesterol and high triglycerides are symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
One 2010 study published in the journal Phytomedicine found that hibiscus extracts had lowered triglyceride and cholesterol levels in metabolic syndrome patients.
Other research showed that taking hibiscus tea twice daily for a month had significantly increased HDL cholesterol levels while also lowering triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol levels in type 2 diabetics.
Although we know the benefits of hibiscus are mostly likely due to antioxidants, more recent research from 2018 indicates that the cholesterol-lowering effect of hibiscus can be attributed, in part, to the antioxidant anthocyanin.

Jasmine Tea
Jasmine varieties often used for jasmine tea include Jasminum officinale and Jasminum sambac. This tea may be able to lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease, strokes, and heart attacks.How is jasmine tea able to reduce cholesterol? The cholesterol-lowering effect is thought to come from the catechin compounds, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate. These catechins are known to inhibit LDL oxidation, and this, in turn, may prevent heart disease.
Research published in the Journal of Nutrition in 1999 found that the epicatechins in jasmine tea had a hypolipidemic, cholesterol-lowering effect in hamsters fed a high-fat diet.
Peppermint Tea
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) tea is another potent cholesterol-lowering tea. A study of diabetic mice published in the Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research in 2011 found that peppermint significantly lowered VLDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and increased HDL cholesterol levels.
Another 2011 study found that peppermint tea could lower cholesterol by helping the body produce bile. Since bile contains cholesterol, the production of bile could help the body use cholesterol more efficiently.
Dandelion Tea
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) tea is another herbal tea that is noted for its heart health benefits, and especially for lowering high cholesterol.
One study done on rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet, published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in 2010, found that dandelion root and leaf could protect against atherosclerosis by significantly lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
This effect was due to the antioxidant and hypolipidemic effects associated with dandelion.
