Description: 
The Yuzu Tree (Citrus junos) is originally native to China and Tibet regions and was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and is actively cultivated there today for essential oil production as well as culinary applications. 

Citrus junos is a slow-growing citrus tree that can take up to 10 years to bear these valuable, unique fruits.  

Yuzu Essential Oil has been used in Japanese culture for centuries for its therapeutic qualities and zesty aroma.

It is cold-pressed from the fruit peel of the Citrus Junos tree. Yuzu Oil has a tart, fruity citrus aroma that is a blend between Green Mandarin and Grapefruit.
