Property

Lemon Tea Tree essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the Leptospermum Petersonii , a small tree up to 5 meters high with lemon-scented leaves. This tree is grown both as an ornamental plant and to obtain essential oil. In nature, it grows near evergreen Mediterranean-type forests on sandy or rocky escarpments on the east coast of Australia. It has simple leaves, 20 - 40 mm long, with a characteristic lemon aroma. The flowers are white, followed by woody capsules.

The essential oil is extracted in a stream of steam from the leaves. It is a clear to pale yellow liquid.

Lemon tea tree essential oil has a sweet lemon aroma that is even more fragrant and intense than cold pressed lemon essential oil.
The main constituents are citral and lemongrass.
