[QUOTE="John B, post: 11999, member: 207"] There is certainly a lot of regional variation in manuka plants. How much this affects the activity and taste of manuka honey I'm not sure but I do know that to me Northland manuka taste quite different from what we get in Hawke's Bay. Naming things is a bit of a tricky situation. Clover Honey produced anywhere in the world is still sold as Clover Honey and if I was to plant a plantation of Tasmanian Leatherwood (something that is worth considering) then I would still sell it as Leatherwood honey. Rather than fight over names I would rather have a system where everything had to have country of origin. New Zealand champagne, Australian manuka et cetera. Selling honey as manuka when it comes from a different species however should not be acceptable. Perhaps Australians are just trying to emulate what many packers in New Zealand did in the past in which case almost anything could be labelled manuka. [/QUOTE]
