ALL ABOUT OUR OLIVE LEAF TEA
For over 2,500 years, olive leaves have been used in the human diet as an extract, an herbal tea, and a powder because of their natural healing properties and supreme taste.
Today, using our fresh, sustainable farmed, olive leaves, we gently pick and handcraft these leaves into our bespoke olive leaf tea range. These can be enjoyed by you, all year round, for their delicious, warming aromas and special antioxidant powers.
Production
Olive leaf tea is made by steaming and rolling freshly harvested olive leaves. These leaves are then dried out and cut to produce tea. The result is a caffeine-free herbal tea that can either be drunk on its own or blended with other herbs to create different flavoured varieties.

How and when to drink olive leaf tea
Olive leaf tea is a versatile drink that is suitable for a variety of drinking occasions. It is caffeine free and can therefore be enjoyed any time throughout the day, and it can also be consumed hot or cold. As with most other teas, olive leaf tea is prepared by steeping the leaves or teabag in hot water (not quite boiling) for a few minutes.
Olive leaf tea can even be made into a healthier version of icy poles/popsicles! Simply brew the tea as per the instructions on the packet, and then place in the fridge until cold. Once chilled, either sweeten with a small amount honey or maple syrup or pour straight into popsicle/icy-pole moulds. Pop in some garnishes such as blueberries, raspberries, cucumber, or mint and freeze overnight.
