Country of Origin: South Africa
Common Name: Buchu
English Name: Buchu Leaves
Also Known As: Buchu Leaves Whole, Agathosma betulina Leaves, Buchu Dried Leaves, Agathosma Leaves, Cape Buchu Leaves, Buchu Leaf Herb, Dried Buchu Leaves
Part Used: Dried leaves of Agathosma betulina, kept whole
Description: Buchu Leaves Whole are produced from the dried leaves of Agathosma betulina, a small evergreen shrub native to the mountainous regions of South Africa. The plant typically grows 0.5–1 meter in height, forming slender woody stems and aromatic, oval-shaped leaves. The leaves are harvested when mature, thoroughly cleaned to remove natural debris, and dried using controlled methods to preserve their green colour, structure, and distinctive aromatic profile. The intact leaves retain their natural shape and texture, making them suitable for various decorative, culinary, and craft applications.
Agathosma betulina produces dense foliage with small, glossy leaves that emit a characteristic fragrance when crushed. The dried whole leaves maintain their fibrous structure, visible vein patterns, and aromatic qualities. Their intact form allows them to be used in visual botanical preparations, decorative arrangements, and creative projects that require recognizable plant material.
The harvested leaves are washed to remove any soil or field residue and dried using controlled warm-air or shade-drying techniques to reduce moisture while maintaining structural integrity and natural colour. Once dried, the leaves are sorted for size and quality, ensuring a clean and uniform batch.
Uses: Buchu Leaves Whole are used in potpourri-style blends, decorative jar displays, botanical craft projects, layered herbal arrangements, and educational herb kits. The aromatic, intact leaves provide visual and textural appeal in creative compositions. They can also be incorporated into natural sachets, resin art, or other decorative and craft-focused applications where whole, recognizable leaves are desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
