Once this process is complete, they are usually left to cure, which can take a while, without sunlight.
The great thing about olive leaves is that they can be used for months to come. If the process mentioned above is executed correctly, then the leaves can be used for up to 12 months. They need to be stored in a dry and cool place that has no sunlight in order for them to be used. The best olive leaves tea is used using fresher leaves, the older they are, the more the taste is able to escape.
