Manuka Honey On Offer @ Beanfreaks

Customer Question
Which we like and the answer even better.

Had this email forwarded on from Nelson NZ from one of your customers:

Hello, I have purchased 8 jars of the above honey from Beanfreaks of Cardiff U.K.  My husband is saying that it is not so sweet as other honey we have  tried with the same factor etc. and wonder why this is so and is it of any detriment to the qualities of the honey. Would appreciate your comments please.Thanking you .  Mrs f. Barrow

Hello Mrs Barrow

I am writing in response to your email to our NZ suppliers regarding your query as to the 'sweetness' of our manuka honey you recently puchased from Beanfreaks.

I am a little suprised as generally the comments we received compared to other genuine NZ souced manuka is that our honey is sweeter - this we put down to the fact it is sourced in the South Island which for reasons we dont understand, tends to produce a sweeter taste.

I am not sure what brands of manuka you have been using before you tried ours so can only make some tentative guesses and suggestions.

All of our honey is produced by our own bees by my family in New Zealand and is very pure and genuine in terms of what ends up in the jar. ie no other honeys or sweetners/additives go anywhere near the finished article. Recently in the UK there has been a prolifiration of manuka repackaged here in Britain and sold predominantly in the supermakets with a very dubious pedigree, how much manuka is actually in the jars being sold is often somewhat questionable - this no doubt has a big influence on its taste etc.

I write all of this in essence just to reassure you that the honey you have purchased is in every way the genuine article and its taste and all other properties are exactly as the bees, the manuka plant and mother nature has intended it.

With Best Regards
