Olive leaf (Olea europaea) refers to the flat, green leaves of the olive tree.

What does Olive Leaf taste like?
Olive leaf has an earthy and herbal taste often compared to fresh cut grass. There is also a slight bitterness to the tea so it is recommended to not over steep. This will help lessen the bitterness.

Earthy
Earthy teas taste grounded and full. Their flavor lives close to the source, in soil, root, leaf, and wood, giving them a depth that fruit and floral blends simply don't reach. Smooth, low in bitterness, and satisfying in a way that feels nourishing.
Bitter
Bitter teas have backbone. That firm, clean edge comes from the same compounds that make tea worth drinking, and in the right cup it reads as depth and structure rather than harshness. Bracing, complex, and deeply refreshing once you're tuned to it. These are the cups that reward a slower palate.
