The London Honey Awards are designed to promote quality in branded retail honey products and the event for these awards is held in London each year. The awards attract entries from producers in over 30 countries across the world, with the majority of entries from Europe.
The London Honey Awards (LHA) is not a contest, so entries are not competing against each other. The awards are about gaining a mark or assurance on quality. Find out more of our story in our article about the LHA awards.
For 2021, we entered all four of our Honeys of Te Urewera and our results were:
Mānuka Honey: Gold
Tāwari Honey: Gold
