Where is your Manuka Honey come from?
Our Manuka Honey comes from the precarious banks of the Rangitikei River - found on the edge of a volcanic plateau on New Zealand's Central North Island.
With an abundance of Leptospermum Scoparium “Manuka Trees’’ and no other nectar sources around to make contamination and dilution of the manuka nectar near impossible. This combination along with the high altitude, weather and volcanic soil set the stage for creating this Rare Alpine Harvest. Truly a natural masterpiece.
Because of the abundance of Manuka and absence of any other nectar sources, we were confident that our bees would collect only pure Manuka nectar, this was both tremendously exciting for the purity of honey our bees would be able to produce, and challenging in the sense that there were no other floral sources around for the bees to forage before and after the Manuka bloom
How did we help our bees make this honey?
We carefully planned our beekeeping in sunny Hawke's Bay, taking care of our hives and using other floral sources when Manuka wasn’t blooming. When Manuka flowers appeared, we prepared the hives and flew them deep into the forest to collect the rare nectar. After flowering ended, the hives were flown back, marking the first harvest of this unique Manuka honey from untouched land.
This rare New Zealand Manuka honey has an incredible taste that must be experienced—it’s truly one of a kind! Follow us on our journey to discover more.
