Our Roots
Long before olive leaf tea had a moment, it had a place at our table.
For decades, our family has been among the pioneers of premium olive oil in Southern California. Generations spent working among olive trees taught us something simple: when you respect nature, it gives back generously.
Along the way, we came to appreciate something most people overlooked: the leaf.
What began as a daily ritual more than thirty years ago has now been shared across four generations. A kettle on the stove. A cup in hand. Conversations that lingered. Quiet moments before busy days. It was never a trend. It was simply part of life.
Leaf & Heir was created to share that tradition with others.
When you respect nature, it gives back generously.A family principle, passed down
We craft only whole leaf Extra Virgin Olive Leaf Tea. Nothing added. No fillers. No extracts. Just carefully selected olive leaves prepared as nature intended. The result is a clean, uncomplicated tea that honors the simplicity of the ritual that inspired it.
Before our tea reaches your cup, every batch is independently third-party tested to ensure it meets rigorous standards for quality and purity. It’s a commitment we take seriously because the tea we share is the same tea we enjoy with our own family.
Our approach extends beyond the leaf. Our packaging is intentionally simple, designed to protect the tea while minimizing unnecessary waste. No excess. No landfill-bound frills. Just thoughtful choices that respect both the product and the planet.
We’ve spent generations caring for olive trees and the land that sustains them. That perspective continues to guide everything we do, from how we select our leaves to how we craft, package, and share our tea.
Some traditions are worth passing on.

Whole leaf only
Nothing added. No fillers. No blends to disguise something else. The leaf tells the truth.

Chosen by olive growers
Generations spent working with olive trees taught us what exceptional leaves look like. Every batch is selected using the same attention to quality, character, and integrity that has guided our family for decades.
03
Independently tested
Every batch goes to a third-party lab before it goes to you. Receipts, not promises.
04
Simple by nature
No unnecessary ingredients. No artificial flavors. No shortcuts. Just olive leaves, water, and a ritual that’s stood the test of time.
