LEATHERWOOD – Eucryphia lucida & Eucryphia milliganni
The Leatherwood, a gorgeous tree growing from the cold, deep rainforest of the World Heritage wilderness of South-West Tasmania. Her yield has flowed since Gondwanaland creating nectar of a distinctive flavour full of soft aromas like the sweet dew of the cold rainforest floor. Her four-petal blossom is a ‘lotus of the air’ where bees gather her nectar during the stillness of the hot summer time.

TEA TREE – Leptospermum lanigerum / Leptospermum scoparium
The ancient symbol of medicine, the snake, winds his way through a small gorge of the upper Huon River and Manuka Creek, old rivers from the glacier’s time flowing through the World Heritage wilderness of South West Tasmania. This is where Miellerie finds the short, endemic trees of the Leptospermum, or Tea-Tree family. This is an extraordinary landscape where the elemental strength of spirit gives this honey its vitality. He has an amber colour with a distinct and pronounced taste, characteristic of his flavour with a remarkable thick texture of soft, fine crystals, rich in natural antibiotics.

LAKE PEDDER’S NECTAR – Bee’s favourite wildflower
Draw me a lake….spirit of the still, silenced beach of tannin waters and sandy-quartz shores. From the spring of the Huon River to the lake; the vibrant life and the endless ripples of the water bring to the nectar a magical diversity of flora blossoms; “…he is rich of aroma with a little bitterness”. During late October to early January this garland will yield to the bees their favourite wild flower nectars from the heart of Tasmania’s world heritage.
