Description
Kānuka: Unique New Zealand Honey
Kānuka Honey comes from the Kānuka tree (Kunzea ericoides) which is closely related to the world-famed Mānuka. Kānuka is indigenous to New Zealand and is plentiful in the forests of Te Urewera. And so it is that our bees gather for us another unique New Zealand honey for us to share with you. A real taste of Te Urewera.
We present this honey raw. Raw means not filtered, not heat-treated. No extra processing. Just from the hive to the jar. Nature’s gift.
Kānuka Honey: International Award Winning Taste
Our Kānuka Honey was in the top 10 as a Category winner in the contest for the World’s Best Tasting Honey (11th Black Jar International Honey Tasting Contest) held in Asheville, USA in 2022.
Kānuka Honey comes with a crisp, aromatic taste with butterscotch notes. Delightful.
Kānuka Honey gives a silky depth of flavour to whatever it accompanies. Enjoy by the spoonful, on your toast, in your smoothie or over your muesli. Just wherever you want rich sweetening, an indulgent treat, with a punch.
Kānuka Honey Properties
Properties in line with its cousin, Mānuka Honey. Powerful.
Research finds that Kānuka Honey has high levels of hydrogen peroxide that give it antibiotic properties, so is a natural way to treat burns, cuts, bruises and grazes.
Kānuka Honey also contains high levels of an anti-ageing compound call arabinogalactans (AGP) which gives it powerful anti-inflammatory properties. and has been found to be effective treatment for skin conditions such as rosacea, cold sores, acne and eczema.
Apply Kānuka Honey straight from the jar for your healing requirements or skin condition, or as a cleansing and refreshing face mask.

A premium product made with passion and authenticity. We purchase the pails as we enjoy it daily in our drinks and I use if regularly in my cooking and baking. There’s something special about knowing that our purchase contributes to local beekeepers and the community, while promoting sustainable practices and care for the environment.
Brenda Tahi, CEO Manawa Honey NZ –
Kia ora Donella – thank you for this thoughtful review. It’s awesome to hear you get the Kanuka Honey by the pail as this is actually my personal favourite – so we must be great minds thinking alike lol. You know it really means a lot to us that you appreciate the flow on from your purchase of our honey – yes it does absolutely contribute to lives of our beekeepers and offices and production staff, all right here in Ruatahuna. And it all supports Manawa Honey to contribute to our efforts for our ngahere. We are just gearing up now for our Matariki Hampers initiative which raises funds for the Tuawhenua Forest Fund, which in turn we will use for pest control and enhancement of our forests. Welcome to Manawa Donella – it’s awesome to have you understand us as you do. Nga mihi naku na Brenda Tahi, CEO Manawa Honey NZ.
