Aromatically, Tea Tree is a middle-note essential oil, the main body and balance of a blend, meaning its scent will last a few hours.
The Tea Tree, which is a member of the Myrtaceae (Myrtle) family, is native to Australia and is known for producing one of the most popular essential oils worldwide. According to historical records, the Tea Tree received its name because sailors used it as tea during the 18th century under the leadership of Captain Cook as he crossed the Pacific Ocean. Captain Cook observed the indigenous population of Australia using the leaves as medicine and decided to follow suit. Over the years, Tea Tree has become a widely used household remedy, with the industry producing hundreds of kilograms of Tea Tree annually.
