For 25 years, the Tasmanian Honey Company has been collecting honey from the pristine wilderness of South-Western Tasmania, a remote Australian island state that sits between the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Manuka honey is produced when bees gather the nectar from the flowers of the Manuka bush, also known as Tea Tree bush or more specifically, Leptospermum scoparium.

The Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) is native to New Zealand and Southeast Australia, including Tasmania.

Manuka honey is distinctively flavoured, darker and richer in taste than clover honey, and has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.

The finest quality Manuka honey with the most potent antimicrobial properties is produced from hives placed in wild, uncultivated areas with abundant growth of Manuka bushes.

Unlike many other honeys, this honey has not been filtered or heated, so it comes to you just as it is found in the rain forest; the pure, natural flavors intact, and a fine candied texture. If you prefer your honey liquid, simply sit the jar in hot water until the contents clear.
