Tahi Estate Ltd, an award-winning honey producer based in Pataua North, New Zealand, has long been recognized for its commitment to sustainability and merit in gourmet foods. In 2025, this dedication was further affirmed when Tahi Estate Ltd was honored as one of Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100 Gourmet Foods & Drinks of the world. Tahi Estate is an industry leader that not only produces exceptional honey but also pioneers in biodiversity conservation and ethical beekeeping practices.
A Visionary Foundation
Founded by Suzan Craig, Tahi Estate Ltd was born from a vision far beyond conventional honey production. What began as a run-down cattle farm has transformed into an 800-acre nature sanctuary. Over the past two decades, the estate has reintroduced 71 bird species, restoring the land into a thriving ecosystem. The name “Tahi”—meaning “one”—reflects its holistic philosophy, embracing environmental stewardship and luxury production in equal measure.
Unlike other honey brands, Tahi is a biodiversity-positive honey company, with 100% of its profits reinvested into ecological restoration. This commitment is exemplified in every jar of honey, where product packaging proudly features the birds that have returned to the Tahi ecosystem. The estate’s unique approach bridges the gap between luxury and responsibility, proving that high-end gourmet products can be deeply rooted in sustainability.
Exceptional Honey with a Purpose
Tahi’s honey stands out for its premium quality, as well as its ethical production methods. Harvested from wild habitats in some of New Zealand’s most remote locations, Tahi honey remains untouched by additives—no sugar, water, corn syrup, antibiotics, or chemicals are introduced into the process. Ethical beekeeping is at the heart of their philosophy, ensuring the well-being of their bee colonies. Unlike many competitors, Tahi does not use pollen traps or collect bee venom, both of which can harm bees. Instead, the company ensures that bees have enough of their own honey to sustain themselves throughout winter, preserving the integrity of their natural diet.
Tahi’s slow and gentle creaming process enhances the honey’s texture, delivering a smooth, luxurious consistency. With certifications including gluten-free, glyphosate-free, non-GMO, and UMF-certified monofloral manuka honey, Tahi guarantees a pure and premium product for consumers worldwide.
A Global Presence in Luxury Markets
Tahi Estate Ltd has successfully positioned itself as a sought-after luxury brand on the global stage. Its honey is available in high-end retailers across multiple continents, including Harrods, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols in London, as well as KaDeWe in Berlin and Alsterhaus in Hamburg. The brand’s reach extends to North America, Asia, Australia, and over 300 pharmacies in Switzerland. With a strong online presence, Tahi further ensures its exquisite honey is accessible to gourmet enthusiasts worldwide.
