Organic Olive Leaves C/S

Organic Olive Leaves C/S come from the olive tree (Olea europaea), one of the oldest cultivated trees in human history. While people worldwide recognize olive oil and olive fruit, olive leaves carry their own impressive herbal tradition dating back to ancient Egypt, where people used them in mummification rituals and revered them as a symbol of divine power.

Flavor and Aroma

Olive leaf tea has a distinctive flavor that combines mild bitterness with an earthy, slightly herbaceous character and a clean, dry finish. The taste is reminiscent of green tea with an olive-like undertone. Some people add honey or lemon to balance the bitterness. The aroma is fresh and green, with subtle woody notes.

Traditional Uses

Olive leaf has been used in Mediterranean herbal traditions for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used olive leaf preparations for a variety of wellness applications. The leaves contain oleuropein, a polyphenol compound that has attracted extensive modern scientific research for its antioxidant properties. In folk medicine, people traditionally enjoy olive leaf tea as part of herbal wellness practices and everyday routines.

How to Brew Olive Leaf Tea

Use one teaspoon of olive leaf per 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 7 to 10 minutes. The tea has a light amber color and a clean, slightly astringent taste. Olive leaf blends well with lemon peel, peppermint, and green tea. For a stronger extraction, simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
