Did you know? An unusual fact about Kunzea ericoides (Kanuka) is that it was historically known as the "white tea tree" in New Zealand because its flowers appear in dense clusters of small, white blossoms, giving the entire tree a distinctive snowy appearance during its blooming season. Interestingly, despite its visual similarity to Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium), Kanuka was once used by early European settlers and indigenous Māori people to brew a type of herbal tea, believed to be soothing and refreshing, similar to the use of tea tree leaves elsewhere. This earned it a unique cultural role as both a practical and aesthetic plant in New Zealand's native flora.
Suggested Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, in tightly sealed containers, away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and potency.
