Health Benefits of sweet olive:

This tea is actually from my parents
My mother said the tea leaves are not actually that good
so she didn’t think the tea will taste good
however
I made a cup of tea today and the sweet olive flowers greeted me with a wonderful aroma
smell good and strong flavor of the flower
i love sweet olive!!

 probably I am still a beginner and couldn’t distinguish differences between good tea leaves vs. bad tea leaves
but the flavor of the flowers win my heart
