🌍 History & Background

Buchu (Agathosma betulina) is a fragrant shrub native to the Western Cape of South Africa. For centuries, it has been respected by the indigenous Khoisan people, who used the aromatic leaves in traditional practices and cultural rituals.

The leaves were often brewed into teas or infused in tonics, valued for their refreshing taste and symbolic associations with cleansing and renewal. In the 19th century, Buchu was introduced to Europe, where it became a sought‑after botanical ingredient, celebrated for its distinctive aroma and cultural heritage.

Today, Buchu continues to be appreciated worldwide, enjoyed as a herbal infusion that connects modern tea drinkers with South Africa’s rich botanical traditions.
