ORGANIC TEA TREE

Botanical

The tea tree is a very resistant tree, where in the wild it can reach 8 m high. In cultivation, to facilitate production, it is kept in a shrub state. The tea tree belongs to the myrtaceae family. It has an evergreen, lanceolate, light green foliage and its white flowers grouped in spikes or in clusters diffuse a powerful aroma.

Origin and history

Captain Cook brought back the term “tea tree” to melaleuca on his return from his thirteenth-century expeditions, because the leaves of the tea tree were used as a substitute for tea by British sailors. The aborigines have used it for several millennia in their traditional medicine. They attribute many therapeutic properties to it and convey around the tea tree many tales and ancestral legends.
