This has helped my ulcers and always settles my stomach and helps with acud attacks. Its expensive but so worth it. I drink it with a mix of tulsi and spearmint tea.

This isn't your normal honey. And if you expect this to taste anything like your normal honey, you will hate it. In fact, this isn't expensive honey -- it is really an entirely different product. Manuka honey is really something special. It comes from a certain flower that has a limited range and bloom time in parts of the world, predominantly New Zealand. To get there, folks need to use a boat, long hike/trek, or actually like this product use a helicopter. Yes, a helicopter! This is what makes Manuka expensive, but also fantastic. But, again, this is not a sweet honey like you imagine. The purity is based off a number of factors, and I can't pretend to know them well. I do know that it is partially based off of how the honey is made by the bees. For example, higher purity Manuka honey comes from bees that are almost exclusively tapping into ONLY these flowers. Whereas lower purities mix with other types of flowers. There are many other factors also as to the purity of the honey, but I'm not an expert, and there's plenty of research online -- including this seller's website which is FANTASTIC. You are getting more than a product, but an education. Manuka sellers from NZ also need to get a certification from the government. This seller has one, and I looked it up, and it is there on the government website and appears to match with this seller. From my examination, it appears to be legitimate and accurate. As for the honey itself, it's thick and creamy. Not like ordinary honey at all. It is also very vicious and if you decide to put in tea, you need to stir and stir and stir. But, in my honest opinion, this is not honey good for tea. Or baking. Or any of that. You should consume it directly and, once opened, it is recommended that you refrigerate it. Check my photo, when cold, it almost forms like a caramel consistency due to the cold and the thickness. However, I also recommend this because of the taste. It isn't normal honey. It does have a little, medicinal taste? That's because part of the rating is based on antibiotic principles, almost like a peroxide-like behavior to this honey. At a certain rating (I believe that is 800+), you can use it as wound care. Being about 1130+, it appears that this would fall in that range. To that point, the smell of it actually is a little peroxide and the taste might even resemble that. For some people that might be off-putting, and many people I have shared this honey with hated it for that reason. However, those who truly understand what Manuka honey is, have loved this and ordered from this seller specifically. It's just a very quality Manuka and, if you like the flavor/tolerate it, there is a myriad of research that demonstrates how wonderful this product may. Overall, the buzz around this product is that it is unBEElievable. Please don't waste this in baking or even in tea. Taste it straight from a spoon, cold is best, and if you don't like the taste but want the purported benefits (which I subscribe to), you can do a half teaspoon in the AM and another in the PM to split up the taste. But I love to start my day with a big teaspoon (maybe a little more...). My wife will have it here and there, but my toddler (who is old enough to have honey) doesn't like the flavor. And that's okay, this is a special, special product anyway. I just want to note that the price for this product appears to be in-line with what other Manuka sellers have, except this seller has coupons to try it the first time. There may be other benefits available like subscribe and saves, bundles, or holiday deals. I would say that everyone in their lifetime should try Manuka honey, it is very unique for taste and special, and it lines up right with having a rare caviar, cheese, or wine. Give it a try once, you might love it, but at least you can say you had it! We love this one and are fortunate to have had the opportunity to taste and review it, and we will be coming back for more because it has already become a part of our morning routine.

Fantastic stuff! I know, it's insanely expensive to get the higher UMF and MGO ratings, but this stuff is fantastic if you feel a cold or flu coming on. Just take a spoonful in the morning and evening and it (in my opinion) lessens the severity and duration of these illnesses. Quite a helpful tool for the toolkit when feeling ill. The taste and texture are great, and the packaging of both the screw top and the easy pour bottles are both very nice and usable. I don't have any complaints other than the premium price, but I definitely understand why it's this way after doing some research on how this is acquired.

It's too early to tell if there are benefits from consumption. The honey is almost like a cream texture instead of a jelly like with regular honey. It's also not as sweet. I wouldn't say it's bitter, but it reminds me of when I would visit my grandparents in South Carolina as a child and we would pick flowers from Magnolia trees and suck on them. It has that kind of taste. Kind of tart with a hint of sweetness. It's obviously not overly sweet since no other sugar has been added. I did try it in two things. A deep hair conditioning mask and face mask. You don't need a lot. Maybe a tiny teaspoon. Not like a regular teaspoon, but those little spoons you that you serve with small teacups and saucers. A sample size spoon if you will. I added them to both mixes and my skin and hair have never felt so soft. I like that it comes in a squeeze bottle. No need to dip a spoon inside the container and spill on the way out or containment the product if your spoon wasn't clean. It's a decent size that will last some time if you aren't just putting it on your toast for breakfast. I would avoid this if you are just looking for something to sweeten your tea. Buy regular honey for that. Also, watch some videos on how they make this. It's fascinating and helps understand why the cost is so high. The Manuka flower has a limited bloom time and these farmers fly their hives by helicopter to the mountains where the flower blooms so they are sure that the Manuka flower is the only flower they are consuming. I'll report back in 30 or 60 days to see if there have been any internal changes.
