Our Story
Quietly obsessed with the olive tree.
Four generations of a Southern California family, one daily routine, and a leaf the world keeps forgetting about. We’re trying to fix that.

The grove
Long before olive leaf tea had a moment, it had a place at our table.
For decades, we’ve been among the early pioneers of premium olive oil in Southern California, learning firsthand that when you respect the land, it gives back generously. Long before olive leaf tea had a moment, it had a place at our table. What started as a simple daily routine over thirty years ago has now been passed down through four generations, shared in kitchens, on porches, and in the in-between moments that matter most.
Our olive leaves are hand-harvested from our grove, where we let Mother Nature take the lead. No shortcuts, no unnecessary inputs: just Southern California sunshine, seasonal rain, and time. The result is something pure, honest, and deeply connected to its origin.
When you respect the land, it gives back generously.A family principle, passed down
We craft only whole leaf olive leaf tea (nothing added, no fillers) so what you’re brewing is exactly what came off the tree. Before our tea ever reaches your cup, every batch is independently third-party tested to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and purity. It’s a step we take seriously, because what we share with you is the same routine we share with our own family.
Our approach extends beyond the leaf. Our packaging is intentionally simple, designed to protect the tea without creating unnecessary waste. No excess, no landfill-bound frills: just thoughtful choices that respect both the product and the planet.
We’ve always seen ourselves as custodians of the land, caring for it today so it can continue to give tomorrow. That sense of responsibility carries through everything we do, from how we grow to how we craft and share our tea.
How we work
Practices, not promises.
01
Whole leaf only
Nothing added. No fillers. No blends to disguise something else. The leaf tells the truth.
02
Hand harvested
Picked in small batches by people who know the trees. Yield varies by season. That’s the point.
03
Independently tested
Every batch goes to a third-party lab before it goes to you. Receipts, not promises.
04
Zero inputs
Nothing added to our trees or soil. Just Southern California sunshine and seasonal rain.
A note from the family
Wishing you all great health.
Now we invite you to inherit this routine, and bring it into your home.
