Rewa Rewa or NZ honeysuckle: (Knightia Excelsa) Tree reaching 30 meters is of a tall and tapering form. The trunk is up to 1 meter across.
This honey is full-bodied, yet not overly strong and has a beautiful burnished amber hue and delightful smooth malty flavour. A hint of rustic woodsheds pervades the complex aroma. Because the distinctive clustered red flowers of this New Zealand Honey Suckle may not bloom well each year, Rewarewa is a premium variety. In times past the Rewarewa nectar was used to cure sore throats.
Rewarewa is a great natural sweetener for hot drinks.
