What is Sarsaparilla?

Sarsaparilla, known by the botanical name Smilax, is a topical vine that grows in various tropical places such as Honduras, Mexico, Jamaica, the Caribbean, and South America. Sarsaparilla, as we most commonly know it, has so many other names. It's called Liseron, Jupicanga, and Khao yern. There's an Indian sarsaparilla but beware as it's another plant, altogether.

Sarsaparilla has been used for years and years to flavor drinks such as cream sodas and root beers so it sounds like it would make for a delicious tea, right? That's correct. It's absolutely delicious. Tasting good is just the tip of the iceberg with this tea. Sarsaparilla boasts so many benefits that it's hard to even list them all. So, let's touch on the tops benefits and that requires a little science lesson.

The Science Behind Sarsaparilla

This little root packs a serious punch in the antioxidant department. In fact, it contains some specific chemicals and inhibitors that have landed it directly on the map of specific research involving cell damage. Now, even though we cannot get into all of that, the research that has been done is pretty easy to find and readily available. Drinking sarsaparilla tea lowers the body's levels of free radicals and this is always beneficial when it comes to prevent cell damage.

What we can discuss is of interest to many people. Sarsaparilla protects the skin from sun damage. The studies done on the actual root prove that it slows the aging process and protects collagen production in the plant. We know that this tropical plant is exposed to lots and lots of sun and still manages to maintain its structural integrity and its collagen and elastin production processes. Basically, it doesn't age. There's the high potential that it can have similar benefits for us. We all want that!

Sarsaparilla contains a class of chemicals called Saponins. This component is what makes water foam up when shaken, kind of like soap. Bacteria and fungi create toxic waste in our bodies.

Saponins work within the veins and arteries of our bodies to clean out toxic waste. This chemical binds and neutralizes the waste within the blood, allowing the accumulated toxins to be flushed out.

Overall, this tea is ALL good. It has amazing detoxifying properties, boosts the immune system, can help increase muscle mass when working out, general body relief, and can even give a little boost in the bedroom. Like we said, this tea is ALL good.

What Does Sarsaparilla Taste Like?

Absolutely delicious. If you like cream sodas or root beers, you'll love this tea. Even if you don't care for those flavors, this tea has a sweet yet almost bitter flavor about it that makes it extremely enjoyable. No need to add honey to it but it will pair quite nicely with Buddha Teas Turmeric and Ginger or our CBD Peppermint. Not only is it complementary in flavor but the benefits increase dramatically when pairing teas and that's always a great thing.
