Just when you thought you had eaten avocado every which way possible, along comes avocado leaf tea. Designed for avo aficionado, the herbal brew is said to have a mellow, earthy flavour with a smooth finish.

Research on avocado leaf suggests it may have substantial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Used as a traditional remedy in ancient Latin American cultures, the naturally decaffeinated tea is believed to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, boost immunity and elevate mood.

The new product, made from an avocado farm in California, uses leaves that were otherwise destined for the bin.

The range is made up of a natural avocado leaf tea alongside four blends that include chamomile, lemon, black tea and peach. The tea can be served hot or cold and garnished with lemon, honey or apparently, a slice of jalapenos.

Each canister is priced at $13.00 and included 15 tea bags, which can be used twice. For more details or to buy, head to avocadoleaftea.com.
