THE TASMANIAN HONEY COMPANY
from the ancient forests and gothic meadows of Tasmania come our fine honeys
“It’s a health food, it’s a healing tonic. It has spiritual qualities.”
Leatherwood Honey
The Leatherwood tree possesses a remarkable aroma and flavor, a true distillate of a magnificent ancient landscape, spicy and piquant. For a brief 6 – 8 week period of the year summer comes to this wild place with the annual blooming of the Leatherwood flower, Eucryphia Lucida. These trees bear an abundance of extremely delicate white flowers with a piquant scent. The bees visit these flowers from January to mid March and collect the distinctive aromatic nectar from them. During this time our beekeepers camp in the remote wilderness removing the surplus honey from the hives enabling us to provide this highly sought after honey to connoisseurs around the world.

Manuka Honey
Tasmanian Manuka honey is collected from the Tasmanian tea tree, Leptospermum scoparium. It is famous for its antimicrobial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, which in part, are the result of a substance called methylglyoxal which naturally occurs in the honey. The methylglyoxal content of our honey is independently tested.

Meadow Honey
Warm summer days, sweet perfumes captured within. Soft and subtle in flavor. Tasmania’s millefiori 1,000 flower honey is gathered from the pasture lands of the lush wild southern island. The open woodlands and natural pastures of Northern Tasmania, yield a rich and varied honey from clover, blackberry, thistle and many endemic species of wildflower.
Christmas Bush Honey
A small tough wiry tree growing on the rocky hills of inland Tasmania produces this outstanding honey with its buttery smooth marzipan like complexity, it is one of our richest and most complex flavored honeys. Its flavor best described as soft and mellow with marzipan tones. This honey is very heat sensitive and candies with a wonderful fine texture.
Eucalyptus Honey
Seductively rich, deep and earthy flavours predominate this warm ambrosia from some of our forest giants of the southwest, to those of the milder east. A full bodied honey with a smooth and extensive flavour gathered from Eucalyptus forests in the South East of Tasmania, the Tasmanian Honey Company’s ‘Australian’ Honey.
