Taika's Poi-E Remake
Whakaari Internationals Ora brand Manuka honey is extracted from native forest in the isolated areas of New Zealands East Cape between Ruatoria and Te Kaha.
The people involved in getting our honey from the nectar of the beautiful Manuka flower to customers as far away as Western Europe are drawn from local Maori communities.
They take pride in their work and can often be seen busting out their best Michael Jackson moves while singing along to greats such as Poi-E by the mighty Patea Maori Club.
This enthusiasm has seen Whakaari International grow from a small business selling locally produced honey to the thriving company it is today.
Ora honey is UMF licensed which means our honey is independently tested to establish its antibacterial qualities.
So with the many proud, enthusiastic links in the production chain and thousands of happy customers world wide, the staff at Whakaari International are confident they'll be around for many moon walks to come.
