Our Manuka

The Manuka Story

The Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium) has been

a part of New Zealand’s story for centuries.

The Maori used its bark, gum, and leaves for various types of healing before its honey ever came to fame, and while we know now that Manuka honey is a superfood, it wasn’t until the late 80’s, that New Zealand scientist Dr. Peter Molan confirmed the presence of unique, antimicrobial properties.

Before this, Manuka was often fed to livestock,

and many of our generational beekeepers still remember this! In fact, it was these very livestock, with their improved health, that encouraged Dr. Molan along with a group of beekeepers to undertake more research.
