Hi everyone, I thought I would let you know about a tea I have just tried called oliviva, olive leaf tea in a sachet and is caffine & tannin free. I purchased from a man on a market in Bath UK. I must say it is rather delicious with lime or lemon as the man suggested. I would like to know what other tea drinkers think about it?
He gave me a leaflet to go and look at the website very intersting in deed. I look forward to hearing from fellow tea drinkers...

Re: The alternative to green tea
Olive tea has been discussed previously on TeaChat. Here is one topic: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... ve#p167753
I have never tried an olive tea. However, there are Russian Olive trees invading the USA. I wonder if they would be suitable alternative to purchased olive tea, likely not.

Re: The alternative to green tea
Definitely not, since Russian Olive trees are... well, not real olive trees. Their fruits are tasty, though, and they make for nice bonsais.Chip wrote:Olive tea has been discussed previously on TeaChat. Here is one topic: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... ve#p167753

Anyway, I have just discovered that olive leaf teas were quite common here in the past (of course they were; we have a symbiotic relationship with olive trees). Might as well be able to find them somewhere.
