It has a dense, glossy consistency and an intense flavor - with the rare depth that defines the very highest levels of UMF™. 

What is MGO?

MGO (methylglyoxal) is the key compound naturally found in Manuka honey. It determines the honey’s potency and quality. The higher the MGO level, the more of this active compound is present, enhancing the product’s unique properties.

MGO Classification:

• MGO 100+: Lower potency, ideal for everyday use.
• MGO 250+: Medium potency, often chosen for its added benefits.
• MGO 400+ and above: High potency, suitable for those seeking a more concentrated product.

The MGO level is measured in milligrams of methylglyoxal per kilogram of honey, making it easier for consumers to select the right product for their needs.

What is UMF?

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a quality certification system that measures not only the MGO level but also the concentration of other important compounds such as leptosperin and DHA (dihydroxyacetone). UMF labeling is a global standard of quality assurance, confirming the authenticity and purity of Manuka honey. 

UMF Classification:

• UMF 5+ – 9+: Lower activity, suitable for daily use.
• UMF 10+ – 15+: Medium activity, chosen by those seeking moderate benefits.
• UMF 16+ and above: High activity, considered a premium quality product.

UMF is a comprehensive rating that guarantees the honey has undergone laboratory testing and meets stringent quality requirements.

Manuka honey is not only a delicious and nutrient-rich natural product but also a testament to New Zealand’s pristine environment and commitment to sustainable, high-quality production. Both MGO and UMF indicators provide valuable insights for consumers, ensuring they receive a genuine and potent product tailored to their specific needs.

Taste: 

This exceptional honey has a smooth, glossy consistency and an intense, complex, woody flavor. As the Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF™) increases, so does the depth of its distinctive savory profile.

Biodiversity:

Your choice brings change. 100% of profits from Tahi Mānuka honey are reinvested back into biodiversity regeneration. To date over 8.8 million trees have been planted or regenerated at our ecolab in the remote north of New Zealand. All of our jars feature different native New Zealand birds. Native birds are the messenger & marker of biodiversity. Before our restoration project began there were just 20 bird species at Tahi: there are now 71, including 25 rare and endangered species.

UMF™ 23+ features the Kākā - The noisy nectar eater.

The Kākā (native parrot) is a large, loud, forest-dwelling pollinator that eats seeds, fruit, nectar and honeydew. This bird is rare and only an occasional visitor to Tahi.

Take 1 heaped teaspoon each morning on an empty stomach to get the most out of the actives or add Tahi Mānuka to supercharge your morning beverage or breakfast. Due to the lower GI (slower release) of Mānuka honey, you can also use it throughout the day. Note: Avoid adding it to boiling water (hot is okay) as this can affect its unique properties.
