Guide Review - Olive Leaf Tea

I thought that tea made from olive leaves would have a strong taste to it, but this is a very pleasant tea. The flavour is something like a mild green tea, along with a bit of a sweet taste too. It takes a little longer to steep than regular tea. I can't make any claims to the variety of health benefits associated with olive leaf tea. But the people at Olivus state that olive leaf tea has antibiotic and antioxidant properties.
