Litsea cubeba Essential oil China
Litsea cubeba, commonly called May Chang, is a small tree that grows up to 12 meters in height in mountainous regions. It belongs to the Lauraceae family, along with the cinnamon tree, laurel or sweet bay, rosewood, and ravintsara. It has simple, alternate, evergreen leaves. The fruits are shaped like small berries, with a fleshy mesocarp and thin pericarp, and are harvested between July and September. They are distilled fresh for an essential oil that is intensely lemony, herbaceous, and fruity. Native to Southeast Asia, Litsea cubeba's Chinese name of May Chang is consistent with its significant presence in China, Taiwan, and Japan. In China, it grows wild in the southern portion the country, but is also grown successfully in the center and east.

Albert Vieille SAS

Litsea cubeba Essential oil China

Odor: intensely lemony, herbaceous, and fruity

Use: Litsea cubeba, commonly called May Chang, is a small tree that grows up to 12 meters in height in mountainous regions. It belongs to the Lauraceae family, along with the cinnamon tree, laurel or sweet bay, rosewood, and ravintsara. It has simple, alternate, evergreen leaves. The fruits are shaped like small berries, with a fleshy mesocarp and thin pericarp, and are harvested between July and September. They are distilled fresh for an essential oil that is intensely lemony, herbaceous, and fruity. Native to Southeast Asia, Litsea cubeba's Chinese name of May Chang is consistent with its significant presence in China, Taiwan, and Japan. In China, it grows wild in the southern portion the country, but is also grown successfully in the center and east.
