The UMF rating is trademarked by distributors in New Zealand, however the density of Tregothnan’s honey indicates the high grade of Manuka within. Manuka honey is harvested from the hives by carefully extracting the multi-floral honey from the top layer, as the Manuka Honey is heavier and denser and sinks to the bottom, therefore separating itself from the multi-floral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManuka Health Benefits as a Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManuka is reported to have numerous health benefits including:\u003cbr\u003eAnti-bacterial properties\u003cbr\u003eWound health\u003cbr\u003eSore throats\u003cbr\u003eDigestive issues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManuka Care notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2101\/4248\/files\/Manuka_Care_notes_2021.pdf?v=1738583298\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManuka Care notes 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003eNext working day delivery and UK shipping only.
