The Fever Tree Story

The Fever Tree Myth:
The first colonists who ventured across Africa often camped under the beautiful canopied trees along river banks and other bodies of water. Often they fell victim to a deadly fever and so began to associate these lovely trees with the disease. Hence the myth of the Fever Tree. What they did not know was that mosquitoes breed near pools of water and the disease that befell them was malaria.

The Fever-Tree™ Promise:
The Indigenous people of Africa knew something the colonists did not. A plant existed that had mosquito repelling properties. Using this natural oil ,the local people ensured that the mosquitoes were driven away and that they were safe from the uncomfortable bites and the disease that was carried.

The Fever-Tree™ candle harnesses this natural, odour-free, indigenous South African oil to help ensure peace of mind against the irritation and potential harm that mosquitoes bring.

By combining natural fragrances with the indigenous oil, The Fever-Tree™ candle offers you the best of both worlds - delightful fragrance with mosquito repellency.
