Quality

Our honey is UMF and MGO certified to ensure the highest quality of Manuka honey.
To assure you that you are purchasing the highest quality Manuka honey, you receive the laboratory certificate corresponding to the specific jar.
This way, you always have proof in black and white of exactly what the honey contains.

UMF Rating

The certification was issued by the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA), which is the official testing company with its own laboratory that exclusively tests and certifies Manuka honey from New Zealand.

The Producer of our Honey

Our honey is produced on the lower North Island of New Zealand. Since it is warmer there than in the south island, there are many more potential locations to farm Manuka honey. We have around 200 Wooden Beehives where we produce our Unique Honey and farm it once a year in September.

At harvest, we get honey ranging from 85 MGO to 1200 MGO. Honey from 1046 MGO upwards usually comes in much smaller quantities because there must be a lot of Manuka trees on a piece of land for that. It also depends a lot on the weather and temperature in the collecting period.

Our honey is produced in the middle of nature in a forest that has never been cut down. That's why our honey is of such high quality and has an unforgettable taste.

The honey produced there will then get packed and tested in a laboratory of the UMFHA to ensure top quality.

The Producer of our Lozenges

The definition of PURITI is simple – it’s the superlative form of pure.

 PURITI was founded in 2018 as part of Midlands Apiaries Limited. Midlands Apiaries has honey production history dating back almost 100 years.

PURITI is 100% locally owned and dedicated to producing premium, non-GMO, Glyphosate residue-free, single-origin Manuka honey from our state-of-the-art production and packaging facilities. PURITI is proud to be a 100% New Zealand-made brand with passionate Kiwis at the helm.

Harvested and produced in the greenest New Zealand environments, we provide the world with luxurious Manuka honey. Our quality and certification standards are a promise to our customers that we only deliver the best.

When it comes to quality, we don’t see government standards, testing and regulation simply as targets to achieve; we see them as the bare minimum. For PURITI they are the starting point for our own quality standards that demand far higher purity levels. We also voluntarily testing for contaminants that we believe are important to the consumer but are not at this stage a legal requirement.

With world leading quality and excellence as our benchmark, we are an interwoven group of people, products, skills and services operating on a global scale from our home turf in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Origin

The Leptospermum scoparium, also known as the broom tea tree and more commonly associated with the Manuka plant of New Zealand, is an incredibly resilient species that can cope with a variety of different climates.

It’s capable of thriving in damp wetlands alongside dry hillsides made up of gravel – not to mention it has impressive fire-resistant properties which protect it against wildfires!

The surrounding environment affects both its aromas and flowering seasons. They are formed by climate conditions coupled with genes inherited from their mother plant. All this makes them truly remarkable plants indeed!

The Manuka Tree

The Manuka shrub, also recognized as the New Zealand tea tree is a unique evergreen type of plant that grows in New Zealand. For some years now, Manuka has also been grown in Australia, but only in monocultures. The honey obtained there may have a high MGO level, but the Quality and taste can never reach the the one
from New Zealand.

The Tree's attractive white and pink flowers with an aromatic scent make it not only beautiful to behold but are important for producing its prized honey – Manuka. But this fascinating bush has more than meets the eye since not just its nectar, but its bark can be utilized in various ways due to the essential oils found within them.

This tall species stretches up anywhere between seven feet right through 16 feet at times even reaching thirty! During summer these plants come alive by calling forth honeybees lured by their blossom which sticks around for two-six weeks when bees buzz over creating sweetly sought after manuka honey making many who savor this treat very grateful indeed!
