From the remote East Cape comes Te Ihi, a brand setting a new benchmark in wellness. Born in Te Araroa, on Ngāti Porou land where the first light touches Aotearoa, Te Ihi embodies vitality, resilience, and connection to nature. More than a product line, it represents a legacy, distilling ancestral knowledge into high-performance wellness essentials, crafted with respect for both and and community.
At its core is mānuka honey — UMF-certified, sustainably harvested, and long celebrated for its healing power. Te Ihi reimagines this taonga (prized resource) for modern life, bringing both everyday nourishment and targeted care into one elevated range (with more products soon to be released). Here, we round up the products we’re weaving into our routines, from the raw honey itself to go-to wellness essentials.
