From the honeybee and the mānuka tree bloomed three most luminous gifts; propolis, royal jelly and mānuka honey. Of this powerful and potent trinity, mānuka honey is the fuel elixir of life.

60 million years ago, the two united in a serendipitous moment of profound synergy. A moment of perfect alchemy; of life and vitality.

Together, they manifested nature’s most perfect sustenance. It was called honey. And there was none so mysterious, so magical, so miraculous as mānuka.

200 years ago, destiny brought the honeybee to New Zealand. There, among the forest canopies of pristine green, it first met the native mānuka tree. 

For centuries, the Maori people harnessed the potent properties of the mighty mānuka tree. Alone, it was special. Together with the honeybee, it became magical. The honeybee and mānuka tree’s improbable meeting sparked the start of a timeless dance. From their unlikely union, mānuka honey was born.

This miraculous elixir was so much more than honey. It was powerful and pure. Awe-inspiring and mystifying. As enviable inevitable as it was incredible. Steeped deep in the wonder of nature; a delicate dance in every drop.

As mānuka honey emerged, the world bore witness to its purity and potency.

While some of mānuka honey’s sacred secrets have been uncovered, there’s still much left to be discovered. 

But amidst this great mystery of nature, one fact stands brilliantly illuminated. Mānuka honey isn’t just delicious…it’s miraculous.

Of the 20,000 bee species in the world, only one makes New Zealand mānuka honey. And the mānuka tree flowers for only a handful of weeks each year. Within this fleeting and ephemeral window, these two rarities entwine. The dance begins.

Bees gather nectar from hundreds of mānuka flowers. They return it to the hive, place it in a honeycomb cell, and work it into liquid gold. The perfect product of nature’s most profound process.
