Manuka Honey is perhaps the most famous honey in the world, and for good reason. Honeybees gather the nectar from the Manuka Bush (Tea Tree Bush) whose Scientific Name is Leptospermum Scoparium.
Manuka Honey is typically only harvested in New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania, which is one of the reasons why it is so hard to find in the United States.
Our Manuka Honey is creamy in consistency with a sweet, medicinal taste on the front end, and a slight bitter taste on the back end. It is also Bio Active and has a 350+ MGO.
