Olive leaf comes from the same Mediterranean tree as olive oil. Just like the oil expressed from the fruit of this tree, the leaf is rich in nutrients, including a potent antioxidant called oleuropein. Because the structure of the whole leaf is left intact, its chemical composition is less processed and therefore uncompromised.

Olive leaf also has antioxidant activity like the olive fruit. In fact, the leaf is known to contain more than 20 phenolic antioxidant compounds.

Whole olive leaf is typically used to prepare teas, infusions and liquid extracts.

Enjoyed for it’s very unique taste, the longer you steep it as a tea, the more pungent it becomes. Beginning as satisfying and mellow, its flavor will grow slightly bitter over time. So, depending on how strong you enjoy your beverage, you can blend it with lemon, stevia, soy, milk, sugar or any number of herbal flavors to create a unique blend all your own.
