Buchu Leaves Cut (Agathosma betulina) are aromatic fynbos leaves traditionally used in South African herbal and household routines. The leaves have a distinctive blackcurrant-like scent with a fresh, minty character, which makes them popular in tea blends, potpourri, and natural fragrance projects. Buchu is often included in cleansing-style blends and traditional urinary comfort routines. This cut format measures easily and strains cleanly for infusions and extracts.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
