Organic Lemon Myrtle

Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a fragrant evergreen native tree, known for its aromatic leaves that have a strong lemon scent with the higest citral content up to 95% worldwide.

 

The leaves are rich in essential oils and contain high levels of citral, a compound that contributes to their distinctive lemon-like aroma and flavour.
