Mount Taranaki Pure Manuka Honey

We traveled to New Zealand and harvested the world’s most powerful Manuka Honey from the remote volcanic foothills of Mount Taranaki. This was a complicated task: we helicoptered our hives onto the native bushland at the base of the mountain, and let the bees work. The impossible to reach landscape creates the most potent, highly active Honey independently tested to contain a whopping 829 mg/kg of MGO along with other potent phytocompounds. It’s extremely rare — ‘monofloral’ meaning that it comes solely from the nectar of the Manuka, which blooms just around 4 weeks per year. It has a long, rich heritage with the Māori, who revered Manuka for its highly potent medicinal benefits. Among them, healthy gut microbiome, skin, and immunity. Unlike any other honey in the world.

This harvest is totally raw with a creamy, crystallized texture and an earthy, herbaceous flavor. Enjoy by the spoon for internal immune support, or as a face mask for rich hydration and cleansing.

From Richard, proprietor of Flamingo Estate:

High atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens, Flamingo Estate is a pleasure-obsessed home of sun-worship, folk mythologies, and psychedelic remedies grown only by farmers we know and trust.

Flamingo Estate is my home and garden. But it’s more than that, too. It’s the story of a lush orchard and pleasure garden on a California hillside overlooking Los Angeles, and the many hands that have helped tend it. It’s a philosophy that champions slow ways and ancient practices. It’s a quest for intimacy — between plants and people, body and spirit, heaven and earth.

Flamingo Estate is a reminder that beauty is not so much the penchant of certain people for exceptional things, as it is their refusal to stand for anything less.

With the help of our friends and a network of incredible farmers, we grow sage for soap and tomatoes for candles. We harvest salt from the cliffs of Big Sur and press olive oil from very old trees and keep bees for honey. In all of it, we’re invested in pleasure — for ourselves and our clients and friends — because we think it’s a path to radical change and cataclysmic beauty.

Things here take time and patience, and they’re meant to. There’s dreaming involved, and growing, and trial and error. There are skilled hands of expert purveyors at the helm of every bar of soap, every drop of oil, and there’s wisdom imbued in each product’s story. If something feels expensive here, it’s because these things are rare.

If you’re here, it’s because you believe in the power of the human hand, in collaboration with Mother Nature, to make beauty. We’re the ardent dreamers, the fantasists, the wizards in the workshop, and we’re all doing it for the marvels of the natural world.
