Olive leaf with its stems
Olive leaves with their stems, Olea europaea, come dried and loose in a 3 oz resealable bag. The bag describes an earthy cup with a quiet sweetness under it.
No origin and no method are printed, so you steep it the way you take your other leaf teas. Because the stems come in with the leaves, a mesh infuser keeps your cup clear, and the stand-up bag reseals between brews. If you would rather have leaf alone, pick the stems out by hand before the leaves go into the pot. You know the tree already from the olives and the oil in your kitchen, and this bag holds its leaf.
In YERBERO herbs and teas, Hojas de olivo is filed under O in the herbolario A–Z, next to Palo azul.
