These wild manuka plants can be found growing close to the sea in the rugged Waikato region of northern New Zealand. This region has an ideal oceanic climate with seasonal temperature fluctuations and high rainfall, which provide the perfect growing conditions for manuka. As a result of the tropical climate, the plant develops a unique profile of natural compounds and powerful aromas, such as monoterpenes (e.g. cis-calamenes) and sesquiterpenes. The family business is passionate about preserving the environment and the indigenous plants that grow there. To that end, the branches of the wild-growing manuka bushes are carefully harvested by hand between September and May and brought to the distillery. The oil is extracted by a gentle steam distillation on the farm immediately after harvesting in compliance with the highest quality standards.

Finest Origin - Highest Grade
Farm
The manufacturer of our high-quality essential oil is a small company in New Zealand. It owns land where manuka and kanuka trees grow wild. The products are certified with the New Zealand organic label BioGro. Harvesting is carried out sustainably and gently by hand, after which the fresh leaves are separated from the twigs by hand and distilled using gentle steam distillation.
Manuka
Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) and grows endemically in south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. The evergreen shrubby or arboreal plant normally grows 2 – 5 metres tall, but can grow into small trees with a height of 15 metres. The fragrant flowers consist of 5 round delicate white, pink or reddish petals. The aromatic ovate or lanceolate leaves are 4 – 12mm long.
Character
The deeply sweet, honey-like Manuka fragrance has a stabilising and balancing effect on the mind and is therefore particularly beneficial in times of stress and burnout. A strengthening balm for body, mind and soul.
