" Are You Looking For Some Typically New Zealand Honey To Remind You Of Your Trip To This Wonderful Country Or To Provide You With All The Goodies That You Miss?"

If you answered "YES!" then have a closer look at this Airborne Tawari Honey (Click on the image to see a bigger picture of it).

The 'Beaujolais' of honeys, Tawari is best savored when young. It's origins are the lowland forests of New Zealand's far north where the elegant tree's waxy white flowers prized by ancient Maori gift the bees a light yellow nectar with a lingering butterscotch flavor.

Airborne Tawari Honey ...

Tawari (Ixerba brexioides) is an endemic New Zealand tree (found nowhere else in the World). "Tawari" is a Maori name where an "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "art". The tree grows up to around 15 meters (50 feet) in height and when flowering is a beautiful sight with perfectly formed flowers in very symmetrical bunches contrasting against a dark green backdrop of similarly arranged leaves. The flowers were highly prized by the Maori people who used them for necklaces and adornment during festive occasions. The honey is a light color with a beautiful taste reminiscent of butterscotch.

FLOWERING

Tawari flowers from October to the end of December but this varies according to location and altitude - usually the more South the latitude and the higher the altitude, the later the flowering. The nectar is copious and very watery producing a prolific honey crop under ideal conditions - but often with a high final moisture content.

Tawari is a predominantly bird pollinated flower with the flower size and structure arranged to deposit pollen from the widely spread anthers on a bird collecting nectar from the centrally located nectaries.Consequently the honey is usually under represented in pollen. Levels as low as 20% Tawari pollen may indicate a good quality Tawari honey (but under ideal conditions we have recorded levels as high as 71%) and levels of more than 30% are routinely achievable. Total pollen levels are also correspondingly low with an average from our database of 57,000 pollen grains per 10 grams of honey.

COLOR ...

Tawari is a light colored honey with an average of 23 mm (Pfund Scale). Other honey floral sources flowering alongside Tawari include Manuka and Rewarewa - both of which are substantially darker (84mm and 93mm respectively) and can have a marked impact on the color of Tawari honey.

The structure of the flower is laid out in 5s. i.e. five petals, 5 anthers, 5 nectaries, even the pollen grains have have a 5 sided shape.

SUGAR PROFILE

Tawari is a higher fructose honey. We have few sugar analyzes for Tawari at present but from initial data, Glucose is around 30%, Fructose 43% and Sucrose < 1%. This gives the ratios of a very slow crystallizing honey but in fact Tawari has a more pronounced tendency to crystallize than indicated by the ratios. Just another example that the immense variability of honey often produces results that are not always immediately explainable.
