Premium Cut & Sifted Olive Leaf (Olea europaea) for Tea, Cooking & Botanical Craft

🫒 Premium Cut & Sifted Olive Leaf (Olea europaea) for Tea, Cooking & Botanical Craft

Our premium olive leaf (Olea europaea) is cut and sifted from the leaves of the Mediterranean olive tree and packed in a resealable pouch to hold its delicate aroma. It carries a sweet, licorice-like anise top note, a cool whisper of mint, and a warm clove finish, a profile that makes it as at home in a teacup as it is in the kitchen. Steep it on its own or blend it with our peppermint, lemon balm, or rosemary for a layered, herbaceous cup.

Olive leaf is native to the Mediterranean and grows best in the warm, sun-drenched climate it evolved in. We partner with a vetted Morocco farm that specializes in exactly those conditions and grows it right where it flourishes, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.

Radical transparency runs through everything we ship. Every lot of our olive leaf is backed by a specific Certificate of Analysis verifying purity and potency, and we publish those records alongside the plant's full story on our olive leaf resource page, so you can verify the exact batch you receive.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I brew olive leaf tea?

We steep 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cut and sifted olive leaf per cup of just-off-the-boil water for 5 to 7 minutes, then strain. For a deeper, more savory cup, we cover it while it steeps to hold in the aromatics and let it run the full 7 minutes. It layers beautifully with peppermint, lemon balm, or rosemary.

What does olive leaf tea taste like?

Our olive leaf opens with a sweet, licorice-like anise top note, carries a cool hint of mint through the middle, and finishes with a warm, gently spicy touch of clove. It is delicate and herbaceous rather than bitter, which makes it easy to sip on its own or to fold into a blend.

Can I cook with these olive leaves, or are they only for tea?

Both. Beyond tea, we fold finely chopped leaves into soups, stews, marinades, and vinaigrettes for a savory, herbaceous note, starting with about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. The same cut and sifted leaf also works in potpourri and linen sachets when you want its aroma around the home.
