THE SWEET SPOT

For New Zealand-based Tahi, creating honey with the perfect balance means putting nature in the driving seat

The Tahi estate, situated in a secluded corner of Northland, New Zealand, is literally buzzing with wildlife. It’s here that Tahi produces 14 di erent kinds of ethical honeys, which, thanks to New Zealand’s warm, subtropical climate and abundance of manuka flowers, all have their own unique flavour. The eco-retreat, spanning almost 800 acres, began life as a run-down cattle farm and was eventually transformed into a nature sanctuary teeming with flora. Here, guests can explore the area’s vast parklands, learn how they can become more eco-conscious in their day-to-day lives and, of course, sample Tahi’s award-winning honey. A founding member of The Long

Run — a membership organisation of ecoforward tourism ventures — Tahi gives all of its profits to wildlife conservation e orts and the local community. Because when it comes to sustainability, everything counts.
