Manuka honey is singular in its reputation as a superfood; a honey that offers innumerable benefits due to its beneficial special qualities. Its intensity is measured by the independent Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) grading system; the higher the UMF, the more potent the honey.
Where do you go when you need to escape? That one place where you are untouchable, wrapped in blissful isolation from interruption and influence. The place you are purely, extraordinarily, yourself.
The Manuka tree knows its place. Nestled among isolated pockets of the purest place on Earth, it draws strength from seclusion.
Far from the prying hands of man, it drinks in the dawn over the pacific ocean; centred, composed and grasping impossibly to the crags and ledges of coastal cliffs. It sinks its toes into the soft mud of remote marshes, carefree as a child splashing in a puddle and smiling with its entire being. It scales hidden hillsides, exploding into white flowers and laying itself bare to the wind and rain, fearlessly proclaiming its place in the world and embracing whatever the elements can throw at it.
The Manuka knows where to find purity. The Manuka knows its place.
A deep, ochre-gold with a velvet, glimmering thickness.
Earthy and robust. There is sweetness, but tempered with complexity.
Truly unique, and varying with potency. Sweetness is harmoniously balanced by undertones of a tea-tree-like bitterness.
Manuka is a miraculous superfood whose beneficial special qualities have been linked to innumerable benefits.
Its flavour complexity makes it a delight for those who appreciate culinary flare, though it brings magic to even the simplest of dishes, smoothies and warm drinks.
Its topical benefits are well-documented, making it a pure and natural addition to skincare remedies, either by itself as a salve or blended into masks and lotions.
Out in the fields and forests of our New Zealand home, rare wildflowers flourish. Many are found nowhere else in the world and our bees adore them.
As these flowers burst into colour for a sweet few weeks each year, the BeeNZ honey journey begins.
Never the same. A perfect pattern with no plan.
