Drinking tea from the leaves of Manzanillo and Mission olive trees has been a method employed for thousands of years
as a homeopathic remedy in the Mediterranean and wherever the olive tree grows. The olive tree provides a powerful natural
tool to fight colds, coughs, sore throats and over 100 viral and bacterial conditions. Olive leaf is a caffeine-free
organic antioxidant (similar to Green Tea) that has also been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, improve respiratory
response and improve skin health. Olive leaf works by disabling infections long enough to balance the body's "bouquet"
so the immune system can eliminate them. Olive Leaf tea is flavorful itself and mixes well with many other herbs and
flavorings.

A Noble History
There is a degree of mystery surrounding olive trees. They can live a long time (over 3,000 years) by producing
Oleuropein, which naturally resists diseases and pests. According to Greek mythology, it is the Goddess Athena to whom
the existence of olive trees is attributed, for it is she who first planted one among the rocks of the Acropolis and bestowed
upon it "powers to illuminate the darkness, heal, and provide nourishment." There are numerous mentions in the Bible about
the tree's healing properties, "the leaf there of for medicine," and "the tree of life." Our orchards are all mature
Manzanillo and Mission olive trees grown organically, cured and fresh packaged.
