Manuka tea has been developed from the same plant honeybee's use to make NZ Manuka Honey. 🐝

One of NZ’s oldest native plants is the Manuka tree. As part of the trees defences the leaves carry an aromatic oil that has antiseptic, anti fungal, antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties.

It was a valuable plant used by the early Maori to treat a variety of ailments. The leaves were used to reduce fever and calm internal complaints.

Manuka tea is 100% hand harvested, hand-picked, graded and packed, and a totally natural and traditional product of New Zealand.

Wild grown Manuka tea is available in store in 25g or bulk tea ☕️

COFFEE TAKEAWAY CUPS BANNED FOR USE YOUR OWN CUP DAY AT TASTE NATURE!
Simply put, single use coffee cups suck.
On the 11th of December, we’re celebrating USING YOUR OWN CUP with New Zealanders nationwide. We’re asking kiwis to say a big “NO THANKS” to using a cup that takes precious resources to create and fulfills its purpose for only minutes before creating nasty waste, that we simply don’t need to use!

USE YOUR OWN CUP DAY is organised by UYO “Use Your Own”

The FIRST 10 people to use their own coffee cup in store on the 11th of December will get a FREE MUFFIN!!!!! Take a picture USING YOUR OWN CUP, tag Uyoc Directory Nz, and hashtag #uyocupday to show you’re support
See you all tomorrow! 💕

Feel your best before all the celebrations begin! 🎄

Simple ideas to avoid overindulgence (or help if you already have had a little too much of a good thing): Wild Dispensary Bitters
Bitters help with digestion and also help with alleviating discomfort like reflux, bloating and indigestion. Take 5-10 minutes before a meal and it can also reduce the amount you eat...Also great for having the next day if you are feeling a little under the weather.
Plant Protein & Greens
- make a mid afternoon smoothie that includes a good source of protein (plant based protein powders or nut butters), fibre (chia seeds/LSA) and a good fat (Avocado/hemp oil). This can help reduce the amount you take from the buffet table and also incorporates all the keystones of a good balanced smoothie. - Greens. Greens are great they support your liver, your gut and your energy levels. Simple green powders are easy to take and use in your everyday- especially over christmas.
Mix with water/mylk/in smoothies. Or eat them we always have an abundance of fresh organic greens in store. 🌱
