Best Grocery Loose Olive Leaf Tea Zeytin Yapragi Cayi 35g

Olive leaf tea is made from dried olive tree leaves, a familiar sight in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions where olive groves are part of daily life. This 35 g bag contains whole dried olive leaves and nothing else, as the label lists olive leaf as the only ingredient.

The pack directions are to simmer two tablespoons of leaves in two glasses of water for 15 minutes, then leave it to infuse for two to three minutes before drinking. The result is a pale golden infusion with a mild, grassy and slightly bitter taste, similar to a gentle herbal tea. A squeeze of lemon or a spoonful of honey softens the bitterness, and the tea can be served chilled in warm weather.

Store the leaves in their bag or an airtight jar in a cool, dry place away from direct light. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, ask a doctor before drinking herbal teas regularly.
