Lemon Tea Tree

I never thought I'd say this but to me, Lemon Tea Tree (Leptospermum petersonii leaf) has an even stronger lemon taste than our popular Lemon Myrtle which is known to be even more lemony than a lemon.

Lemon Tea Tree actually has a long history in Australia for both warding off colds and flu, antiseptic treatments, and cooking. Taste wise - if you want an amazing morning pickmeup without the caffeine, this could be the one. Also mixes wonderfully with honey!

Our quality is of a high standard and our much lower prices are not reflective of the quality of our natives. We wish to move more stock to increase demand, reduce our margins and therefore give back to local communities.
