History & Traditions :
The Tea Tree is native to Australia, and has its name to the navigator James Cook who made tea with tea tree leaves. It was also used to heal the wounds by the natives.
It is a tree about 6 meters high with a bark that is detached in several lamellae. Its leaves are in fine form and long green needles. Small white flowers formed of 4 petals grow there.
