Production
Harvest
A tea tree grown at the foot of Mount Kenya
Native to the swampy regions of Australia, the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is an evergreen shrub widely known for its powerful aromatic properties. Although originally cultivated in Oceania, its cultivation has expanded to the African continent, where the warm, sunny climate favors its development.
Our organic Fair for Life tea tree essential oil is obtained from leaves grown in Kenya, on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya, in a more equitable agricultural system. This production method allows local farmer cooperatives to enhance their expertise while adhering to strict organic standards.
Manufacturing
Handcrafted distillation
We collaborate with an experienced local partner for the production of our tea tree essential oil. The entire processing chain adheres to the Fair for Life certification standards, from cultivation to packaging.
Here are the main extraction steps:
-
Harvesting mature tea tree leaves when their active compound content is optimal.
-
Gentle grinding of the leaves to facilitate the release of aromatic compounds.
-
Steam distillation in a still, without solvents or additives.
-
Cooling and natural decantation to separate the essential oil from the hydrosol.
-
Filtration, analysis, and bottling in accordance with Landema quality standards.
The result: a 100% pure and natural essential oil, with a documented biochemical profile.
