Product Description
Southern Rata is one of several species of Rata found in New Zealand but is the one that most regularly produces a honey crop, although even this honey is sometimes in very short supply. Anyone who has seen the Rata flowering in January in the Otira Gorge west of Christchurch cannot forget the sight of this brilliant red carpet covering the mountains. This area produces the purest Rata honey, very white in colour with a subtle, distinctive flavor, mild and rich - but not sweet, almost salty, considered by many to be the most unique of all honey.

 the most unique honey I've tried November 9, 2008
This honey is thick, creamy, white, and delicious. It is the most unique honey I've tried. To me, it has a slight spearmint flavor. I found it to be delicious as is by the spoonful; also works well in hot tea. I would buy this honey again if the shipping were not so high. I recommend it for its quality, taste, and uniqueness.
 "Buttery vanilla" is the perfect description. May 9, 2008

This honey is very pale, thick, and translucent, almost opalescent. It's actually rather pretty when you let it run through a fork. The smell and taste are both mild but pleasant. The smell is similar to vanilla, and the taste is a buttery vanilla. It has an immediate aftertaste that is a bit bitter, but a sweetness that lingers for a while. I think the flavor would be quickly lost in cooking or baking (it might works with seafood, but I don't think I'd try it with red meat), but it would go very well with white and green tea, and mild herbal teas.
