English Name: Olive Leaves Tea

French Name: Thé de Feuilles d’Olivier

Also Known As: Olive Leaf Herbal Tea, Olea Tea, Mediterranean Olive Tea, Olive Leaf Infusion

Part Used: Leaves of Olea europaea

Description: Olive Leaves Tea, a loose-leaf herbal infusion, is made from the dried leaves of Olea europaea, a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region and widely cultivated in southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Olive trees typically grow between 3 to 10 meters in height and have narrow, elongated, dark green leaves with a silvery underside. Olive is a perennial evergreen, producing new leaves throughout the year, although harvesting for tea usually occurs in late spring to summer when the leaves are mature, tender, and aromatic. Olive trees flower in spring, followed by fruit development in late summer and autumn, but the leaves are harvested independently for their herbal use.

After collecting, the olive leaves are thoroughly cleaned and gently dried to preserve their natural green color, aroma, and delicate flavor. Minimal processing ensures that the leaves maintain their natural aroma and mild, earthy flavor. When brewed, Olive Leaves Tea produces a light green to golden infusion with a smooth, slightly vegetal aroma and a subtly earthy, clean taste, making it suitable for daily consumption.

Uses: Olive Leaves Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. For a hot infusion, add one teaspoon of dried leaves to a cup of hot water and steep for 5 to 10 minutes, adjusting steeping time according to taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger infusion, allow it to cool, and serve over ice for a refreshing beverage. The leaves can also be cold brewed in the refrigerator for several hours to produce a smooth and mild herbal infusion.

Olive Leaves Tea pairs well with complementary herbs such as lemon peel, mint, chamomile, or hibiscus, which can enhance aroma and flavor while keeping the infusion light and balanced. Light natural sweeteners like honey or agave may be added to taste. The brewed infusion can also be used as a base for herbal blends or culinary beverages where a subtle vegetal note is desired. Its smooth, mild, and slightly earthy character makes it suitable for everyday enjoyment and calming tea rituals.

Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
