Steep Echo debuts range of olive leaf blends
Steep Echo is pioneering a new type of tea experience with a range of herbal teas made with dried leaves from the olive tree. The new tea company, backed by Bel Lavoro olive plantation in Santa Barbaba, CA, starts out with 5 blends that aim to encourage the discovery of this new infusion thanks to familiar inclusions such as peppermint, vanilla, cinnamon, liquorice and many others. While it is a relatively new herb with limited long-term scientific studies about it, the leaves contain oleuropein, which is associated with a range of health benefits, including support for the cardiovascular and immune systems. Olive leaves produce a light cup when steeped for a short time and a heartier one if left for longer. The teas come in 12 pyramid teabags per box and an eco-friendly refill pack is also available.
