Benefits: Olive Leaf Mint Tea is a great-tasting drink that can be taken daily as part of a regular healthy diet. However, when you are feeling sick or coming down with the flu, what a wonderful way to brighten your day.
Composition: Seagate grows the olive leaves contained in this product on their farm in Baja California. Seagate freeze-dries the olive leaves, employing the same process methods used to produce olive leaf extract. Peppermint leaves are added to provide a pleasant soothing flavor.
Raw Material Source: Seagate's olive trees are well-suited to the arid climate of northern Baja California. Originally, these trees were planted alongside their farmland to protect the crops from wind damage.
Olive History: The mighty olive tree (Olea europa) has been celebrated for its power to nurture and heal since the beginning of recorded history. Cultivated in Asia Minor over 6,000 years ago, the fruit and the oil of the olive tree are mentioned in the Old and New Testaments as health-promoting and life-sustaining foods. Olive leaves were used by the ancient Egyptians to wrap and preserve their mummies prior to burial in crypts, because the olive leaves helped preserve human tissue from decomposition. It would be thousands of years before the olive leaf would be studied for its antimicrobial characteristics. In 1969 a major pharmaceutical company isolated a component of olive leaf, a chemical called elenoic acid, in an attempt to develop an anti-viral medicine from this plant. Perhaps the most famous modern use of this tree is by The United Nations which uses the olive branch as its symbol of peace.
Great way to share! on 2011-06-10, Bonnie L. in Sutersville, PA, U.S.A. says:
As the only person in the Learning Center (student or staff) who hasn't missed a day in two years because of illness, I'm often asked why (at 63) I'm so healthy. This great-tasting tea is an easy way to introduce students and staff to the soothing, healing olive leaf products. As I teach the kids Health / Nutrition / Home Ec, the parents are starting to see and feel the difference a cup of hot (or now, a tall glass of iced) peppermint-flavored olive leaf tea. YUMMY !!!!
Great Tasting! on 2011-02-08, Diana in San Diego, CA, USA says:
I just finished my first cup and I must say it is quite good, very refreshing and invigorating. It's as if you were drinking regular mint tea. I was a bit apprehensive in buying as I thought the flavor of the olive leaf would come through. I was pleasantly surprised and can say it doesn't, making it a delicious full flavored mint tea. Ask for a couple samples in any of your orders; I did and will now be ordering a box.
