History

Manuka is a small native tree or shrub abundant throughout New Zealand. Kanuka is separated from Manuka by its larger size, smaller leaves and flowers. Both plants were traditionally used for their medicinal properties by the Maori and early settlers. The common name tea-plant was given by Captain James Cook, who along with many early settlers made tea from the leaves. This is likely to be the reason why Manuka and Kanuka are wrongly confused with the Australian tea-tree.

Attractive to bees, Manuka flowers also make great Manuka honey that also contains some antibacterial properties. Much scientific research is now proving the effectiveness of Manuka.
