Description

Olive leaves have been steeped as a tisane across the Mediterranean for generations, and these come straight from the hills of Tuscany, Italy. The dry leaves carry the same fresh, grassy scent you'd catch walking through an olive grove, and the cup follows through: a mild olive flavor with a soft, faintly creamy finish.

Caffeine-free, it's a natural choice for an evening wind-down or an afternoon pause. This tisane will feel right at home if you are drawn to the savory, herbaceous side of Mediterranean cooking.
