Our Tea tree essential oil is coming from Kenia. Kenia has an excellent climate for growing of the Tea Trees. The bright green leaves cover the branches of the plants, which can reach over six meter in height. The name Tea Tree is derived from the Australian Aborigines who used to brew the leaves of the tree into a herbal tea.
For our essential oil we steam distilled 50-75 kg of the leaves to receive 1 kg of essential oil.
Benefits
Tea tree essential oil is active against all three categories of infectious organisms; bacteria, viruses and fungi. Tea tree essential oil is also excellent for stimulating the immune system and preventing the spread of infection.
