But perhaps the most unexpected example is
The Avocado Leaf Tea Co.’s new line of teas made with leaves that would otherwise be turned into mulch.

The Temecula-based company was born when Scott and Sharon Wibbenmeyer bought a piece of land populated with avocado trees.

A brainstorm — followed by lots of research and testing — has resulted in healthy teas that taste like avocado.
