Olive leaves have a long tradition around the Mediterranean. On Crete, in Greece and in Turkey they have been dried and brewed as tea for generations. The knowledge was often passed down within families.
Olive branches and leaves also played a role in antiquity, as decoration, as offerings and as a sign of peace. Today many people beyond the Mediterranean are rediscovering Olive Leaf Tea as a tart, clear tea with no added flavourings.
