Our mānuka comes from hives in and around Golden Bay, a sheltered inlet at the top of New Zealand's South Island where Farewell Spit curves out into the Tasman Sea. High rainfall and dense native bush mean mānuka grows in abundance across the coastal terrain. The flowering window for mānuka is short, just a few weeks in summer, and the bees and beekeepers have to work quickly. For all of that effort, the reulting product is a darker, denser and more layered honey than clover or wildflower, with a faintly herbal depth that sits beneath the sweetness. That character is what we love to balance against teh acidity of our locally grouwn fruits. and is present in every sip.
