🐝 throwback to 5 years ago… and honestly? we’re getting emotional 🥹 .

this clip is a little time capsule of our halfway point — and looking back at it today, it hits different. building something across international markets was NEVER a straight line. some days felt like we were crawling, other days it felt like we were flying ⚡️ but either way, we just kept going.

and here’s the thing we want to say loud: none of this was ever just about the honey. it’s about the people. the land. the forest that gives us everything, before it ever becomes a jar on a shelf. people → place → product. always in that order 🌳🍯

we’re only here because YOU showed up for us — our community, our customers, everyone who’s ever trusted us to bring a little piece of the forest into your home. that’s not something we take lightly, ever.

so today we’re just sitting in the gratitude, celebrating how far we’ve come and excited for what’s still ahead. thank you for growing with us 💛

Sticky, glossy, and gone in about ten minutes 🍣 🍯
The honey is doing the work here. Mānuka brings caramel and malt with a soft bitter finish, so the glaze tastes rich instead of sugary, and it clings to the fish rather than sliding off it.

25 minutes, one pan, and it looks like you tried much harder than you did.

The tip I’d never skip: save a teaspoon and drizzle it over raw right at the end. Heat softens mānuka. Raw brings all the flavour back.

Kai from the whenua our whānau has looked after for generations — Ahipara, Māngamuka, Te Hāpua. Lab verified, every batch.

IF it doesn’t have an MGO number, it’s just honey.

Our MGO starts at 80+ through 1200+. every batch lab tested & verified. the number on the jar is what’s in the jar — often more, never less.

Rule #1 of Matariki soup: the steam does the mahi.

Roast the pumpkin harder than feels right — the dark edges are the flavour. Blend it silky. Then the kānuka honey goes in off the heat, always, so the good stuff stays good.

Bowl of warmth, bowl of stars. Best served next to parāoa parai and the people you love.

Slow kai. Warm whare. Mānawatia a Matariki ⭐

POV: breakfast just peaked 🥯🍯 🍓

Toasted bagel + high-protein cream cheese + fresh strawberries + a Kanuka Honey 1000+ drizzle. Simple kai, big energy.

And yes — that cream cheese is actually strained protein yoghurt. One ingredient, overnight in the fridge, and boom: protein-packed schmear. We don’t gatekeep 🤌

Bonus: honey sits lower on the GI scale than refined sugar, so you get the golden sweetness without the crash. Sweet AND fuelled. We love a win-win 🖤

Full recipe + the overnight strain method is up on the blog — link in bio ✨

🍯 SAVE this for your next slow morning
👯 SEND it to your brunch bestie
📸 TAG when you make it — drizzle technique will be judged (lovingly)

Straight from our hives in Te Hiku to your table. 100% Aotearoa 🇳🇿
