Melaleuca alternifolia
Rich, campherous and herbaceous.

Due to its strong scent, Tea Tree oil is known globally as a good combatant of offensive odours. It’s also effective for removing headlice, reducing skin-level bacteria, and soothing inflammation. Further, its qualities as an anti-septic oil has seen it feature in prominent cosmetic and home cleaners all around the world.

European use dates back to the 18th Century when Captain Cook learned about the “healing tree” from First Nations Australians. A northern New South Wales East Coast tribe Bundjalungy, used Tea Tree to treat many skin problems by adding crushed Tea Tree leaves into hot compresses as well as boiling leaves in water to consume as a tea. Our tea tree oil is not recommended for ingestion due to its high concentration of volatile components. However, diffusing Tea Tree oil has been said to have similar cleansing effects.

A Bit About Our Farm

Grown naturally on the eastern coastline of Australia especially in warmer and wetter climates of New South Wales and Queensland, our Tea Tree oil is grown and distilled from established plantations on the far north coast of Queensland in Djabuganjdji country. Co-farmed with Lemon Ironbark, Palmarosa and trials of Ylang Ylang by long-time friends of Native Oils Australia (the team behind Aussie Bush Aromas), the Hatfield farming family.

Distillation

For over 10 years this plantation has been both hand and machine harvested, then distilled on-site using a purpose-built system. It uses on site dam and tank water that is cooled and returned at the end of the distillation process.
