In 1975, Eric Dunstone founded his cooperative in the remote Oribi Flats region of South Africa. Since its beginnings, its hard work, its integrity and its deep respect for the local community and the natural environment have been the pillars of its success. Today, this business is still a family affair, capitalizing on 11 years of experience growing and producing the highest quality organic essential oils. In addition to its positive impact on the local economy, this organization is actively involved in numerous community social projects, which has earned it a large number of certifications.
The shrub is named after British explorer James Cook, who observed the indigenous people of Australia using its leaves to prepare a beverage similar to tea. Cook later used the term "tea tree" to describe this plant. However, it should be noted that the tea tree and the traditional tea plant do not belong to the same botanical families.
