Add a true South African treasure to your herbal collection. Native to the Western Cape’s unique fynbos region, this powerful shrub has been relied on for centuries - first by the San and Khoi communities and later by the Cape settlers. Its leaves were brewed into teas, infused into vinegars and brandies, and used in homes as a traditional remedy and natural insect repellent.
♡ Why we love it: Buchu’s distinctive blackcurrant-like aroma comes from its complex essential oils, featuring buchu camphor (diosphenol), menthone, limonene, and a hint of pulegone. These compounds make it a valued addition to beverages, perfumes, and aromatic sachets. In herbalism, Buchu remains a key cleansing botanical, supporting the urinary system and aiding gentle detox with its crisp, minty freshness.
Sizes: 250g or 1kg.
