Manawa means heart and that's what drives us - Honey from the Heart. Manawa Honey NZ was founded by the Tuhoe Tuawhenua Trust in Ruatāhuna at the Heart of Māui's Fish (North Island of New Zealand), to sustain our people with jobs and good health, and to keep bees for what they do for our place and this planet. The Tūhoe Tuawhenua Trust has a 100-year vision of “Kua tau te iwi me te whenua (People and the natural world thriving harmony)”. Thus, Manawa Honey is ultimately about the development of our people and the enrichment of our forests. We specialise in native tree honeys from the untouched forests of Te Urewera - homeland of our tribe, Tūhoe. Our exquisite honeys include Mānuka, Rewarewa, Tāwari, Pua-ā-Tāne - bounty of the God of the Forest. Ours are international award-winning honeys. For taste, for quality, for health-giving properties – our honeys sit above the rest. We’re honoured to serve discerning honey-lovers in New Zealand and across the globe.
