PURE BUCHU (40 tea bags)

Buchu (Boegoe) is arguably South Africa's most famous medicinal herb — a small fynbos shrub from the Western Cape mountains whose leaves carry an extraordinary fragrance of blackcurrant and anise, and whose traditional medicinal use stretches back centuries. Used by the Khoisan and documented by Dutch settlers as early as the 17th century, Buchu is now internationally recognised as a natural urinary tract and kidney support herb.
