Mānuka is most well-known for its honey made from the nectar of the flower, however, the leaf was traditionally used as a tea replacement by early settlers in New Zealand. This incredibly fragrant leaf is what contains the remarkable properties of the Mānuka essential oil. This blend balances the pure taste of Mānuka Leaf with hints of Spearmint and Lemon Juice that lend citrus minty tones to this unique NZ herb.
