Interesting Tea Fact
Where does tea tree oil come from?

•Did you know that Tea tree oil doesn't actually come from tea bushes or trees?
That's right, tea is produced from Camellia sinensis which is an evergreen shrub or small tree.
Tea tree oil on the other hand is made from the plant Melaleuca alternifolia which is native to Australia and completely unrelated to the tea plant used to make tea.
Japan Crackle Hearts Tea Cup
Beautiful handmade style with a unique glaze
