The narrow, silvery green leaves of the olive tree are firm and leathery. Around the Mediterranean they have been dried and brewed as tea for generations. They contain many polyphenols, above all oleuropein. Considerably more, in fact, than the fruit.
Our Ölich Olive Leaf Tea comes from the same groves in Edremit as our olive oil. 100 per cent olive leaves. Use 2 to 3 g per cup and steep at 90 °C for 7 to 8 minutes. Tart, earthy and full of character.
