【Melaleuca Honey】
Melaleuca honey produced from the nectar of the melaleuca tree. The melaleuca tree is indigenous to Australia. Commonly known as “tea tree,” Melaleuca ericifolia, M. quinquenervia, M. Leucadendron and M. rhaphiophylla were first named by Captain James Cook in 1770 when he was charting the eastern coastline of Australia. His cook would dip the flowers of these trees into his cup of tea hence “tea tree.” Since then, these wetland trees are sort after by beekeepers Australia-wide as they produce honey that is from light to dark orange in colour and has strong caramel flavours with hints of cherry. When in full flower these plants will drip nectar making them an excellent source for the bees.
