In short
The fruit of the olive tree is almost always used. Here, the leaf is used: hand-picked from the company's olive trees, dried, and packaged in-house. The label calls it "collection of herbal teas — olive leaves."
In the cup, it's a dry, herbaceous infusion with a light bitterness that leans more towards green tea than chamomile. One teaspoon of dried leaves per cup, water between ninety and one hundred degrees Celsius, ten to fifteen minutes; two spoons make three or four cups. It can be drunk hot or left to cool. The company advises not to exceed two or three cups per day and to consult a doctor before consuming it.
In the kitchen
How long it takes, and what goes on top.
One teaspoon of dried leaves per cup, in 90-100 °C water, infused for 10-15 minutes. Two tablespoons make 3-4 cups. The company advises not to exceed 2-3 cups per day and to consult a doctor before consumption.
Goes well with Alone, warm, after dinner. Cold in summer, with a lemon twist.

On the same stall
Two ways to look: the same line, or the same color.
La Foresta
A farm in Montevarchi, in the Valdarno: since 2021 it has been bringing back almost four hundred centuries-old olive trees left abandoned for years, grown without chemical treatments and converting to certified organic. The olives are picked by hand and cold pressed within a few hours. Beside the groves an apiary of more than fifty hives, stationary beekeeping: hive care, harvesting, extraction, jarring and packing are all done on the farm, by hand.
