KIWI Manuka HK - 加維麥蘆卡
About author
Our products bring together a unique blend of cultural heritage and modern technology to deliver a range of natural, Manuka Honey-based products for health and wellbeing.
Kiwi Manuka’s products draw on the knowledge of New Zealand’s Maori people, who have used Manuka in their traditional medicine for centuries, together with the development of modern research and clinical study.
In partnership with landowners, our Manuka Honey is sustainably sourced from vast natural plantations in some of the remotest regions of New Zealand.
The Manuka tree is native to and grows throughout New Zealand. Its natural properties and the finest wild honey made from its nectar have been combined with stringent certification and production standards to produce pure and natural products of the highest quality.
All our Manuka products are ethically and sustainably sourced from a range of lands, many of which are owned by Maori. All our landowners benefit directly from sales of our products.
我們的產品,是將文化遺產與現代科研相結合而產生的獨特成果,為您和家人的活力、健康和福祉帶來以麥蘆卡蜂蜜為主要成份的一系列天然補品。
我們的蜂蜜充分利用豐富的民族遺產,蜜源來自傳統土地上的麥蘆卡樹, (Leptospermum scoparium) ,其保健功能已為數代人所熟知、享用。
加維麥蘆卡產品是得益于紐西蘭毛利族原住民千百年來將麥蘆卡樹用於醫療用途的傳統知識,並經過現代科研與臨床研究開發而來。
我們與傳統土地所有者合作,確保麥蘆卡蜂蜜蜂蜜均來自紐西蘭最偏遠地區的大片天然林場,並可保證蜜源供應持續不斷。
麥蘆卡樹為紐西蘭本地野生樹種,在全紐西蘭各處均有生長。其天然功效、蜂蜜由野生花朵的花蜜釀成、嚴格的生產標準,都經過認證,確保產品的純淨、天然和有效,是最高品質的健康產品。
我們所產的麥蘆卡蜂蜜製品,均為天然產品,蜜源來自紐西蘭的麥蘆卡樹。麥蘆卡蜂蜜的治療功效,是通過科研和實際應用被人們認識的。比起麥蘆卡樹本身來,其花所產蜂蜜的醫療效果更強,所以您知道它的效力,也可以安心使用該天然產品。
加維麥蘆卡產品把紐西蘭麥蘆卡蜂蜜和經過臨床驗證的創新成果相結合,為您和家人提供安全、天然有效的優質產品,增進機體活力,帶來健康與幸福。
此外,我們產品的原料來自可持續供應的蜜源,麥蘆卡樹所在的區域多為毛利人所有,而我們的產品銷售所產生的經濟收入也使每個土地所有人直接受益。
Our Heritage… Your Health
Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) is a native evergreen that grows wild in the most remote, unspoilt corners of our country. Ancient Maori used all parts of the Manuka in traditional medicinal practices passed down from generation to generation.
Our pure Manuka Honey is sourced from natural, pollution-free plantations, managed by the Maori landowner communities who are the guardians of this precious resource. This remarkable honey, with its unique Manuka properties, forms the basis of the Kiwi Manuka product range.
我們的文化遺產, 為您帶來健康
麥蘆卡 (Leptospermum scoparium) 是紐西蘭最北端的未受人類活動影響的偏遠地區的一種本地常綠野生植物。古代毛利人把麥蘆卡樹的各個部分用於傳統醫療,並把它世代流傳下來。
我們純淨的蜜源採自的天然、無污染的種植園,該寶貴資源由毛利族土地所有者社區維護管理。這種獨特、神奇的麥蘆卡蜂蜜,是加維麥蘆卡各產品系列的共同基礎。
Protected and Nurtured
Manuka grows wild in New Zealand on undeveloped or regenerating land. On farmland, since the earliest days of settlement in New Zealand, it has been regarded as a hindrance to intensive pasture activities. However, indigenous owners have continued to protect and nurture their vast Manuka forests, placing high value on the plant’s special healing properties and the natural integrity of their land.
Beekeeping is a low-impact activity. The collection of our products does not require chemicals, felling of trees or digging of soil. That means the resource is protected and maintained.
保護與充實
麥蘆卡樹生長的土地環境,是紐西蘭未開發和林木恢復區。在歐洲移民對紐西蘭開發的早期,農牧場上的麥蘆卡林被當做阻礙畜牧業活動向縱深發展的障礙而受到砍伐。但原住民對大片的麥蘆卡樹進行了持續不斷的保護和充實,從而給麥蘆卡樹的醫療特性賦予高度的經濟價值,同時也維護了土地的自然狀態。
由於養蜂業對土地影響很低,對蜂蜜的採集不需要使用化學品、砍伐樹木或挖土,因而使資源得到保護和維持。
A spirit of innovation
The arrival of Europeans to New Zealand late in the 18th century brought new technologies and knowledge. The introduction of the honey bee by settlers in 1839 has led to the development of Manuka Honey’s global medicinal and healing reputation.
創新精神
19 世紀初隨著歐洲人的進入,帶來了一些新的知識和技術。自 1839 年歐洲移民將蜜蜂引進紐西蘭之後,麥蘆卡蜂蜜的醫療性能則逐漸為外界所知,享譽全球。
加維麥蘆卡把紐西蘭麥蘆卡的創新與合作精神繼續發揚光大:由吸收傳統知識衍生的一系列新產品,經過臨床試驗證明其不但完全天然,而且確實具有臨床療效。
Sharing the Resource
Large areas of New Zealand manuka, protected by their remote location and the kaitiakitanga (the principle of guardianship over the natural environment) of the Maori land owners, are once again a source of vitality, wellbeing and health – both for the people who use the products and for the land owners who, through our ethical and sustainable trading partnership agreement, share directly in the benefits of the resource.
資源的共享
這些大面積的馬努卡樹木受到其偏僻的地理位置和毛利族土地所有者的“開泰克唐噶”(對自然生態的守護原則)雙重保護,不僅給產品的使用者帶來了活力、健康與幸福,而且也使土地所有者分享到該資源帶來的種種利好。
Preserving the Environments
Collected by nature, harvested by our people, our Manuka products are sourced in a sustainable and ethical way.
During the four-week flowering period, nectar is collected naturally from the delicate pink or white Manuka blossoms by foraging honey bees, leaving little impact on the land. At the same time, the native plantations support the purity of New Zealand’s exceptional natural environment.
Hives are placed on well-researched sites, and care is taken in harvesting the honey, using professional beekeeping techniques. Stringent standards for land care, harvesting and manufacturing are monitored to ensure the products presented to you are of the highest possible quality and sustainably produced from plantation to finished product.
Economic benefits are shared with the resource owners, and, through them, they’re supporting communities – who in turn help ensure the future sustainability of the resource.
自然環境
靠自然採集,靠人類收穫。我們的馬努卡產品均來源於以對生態維持的方式。
具有活性抗菌特性的麥蘆卡蜂蜜的蜜源,僅來自紐西蘭極少幾個地方的麥蘆卡花。這些地方包括最先見到日出的東北角和紐西蘭北端。至於為什麼只有某些麥蘆卡蜂蜜才具備這種加強的抗菌特性,目前尚無答案。其原因也可能是由於和後續環境因素如土壤類型、氣候、麥蘆卡某些特定的亞種有關。
在麥蘆卡的四周開花期內,蜂蜜完全由工蜂從粉紅色或白色的花蜜釀成,對土地的影響極小。同時,當地種植園精心維護紐西蘭優異自然環境的純潔性。
蜂巢放置地點都需經過事先仔細研究,在收穫蜂蜜時更需細心照料,採用專業化養蜂技術。實施土地護理、蜂蜜收穫和產品製作方面各項嚴格標準並對執行情況進行監測,以確保我們所供應產品的品質是最好的,我們的保健產品都來自可持續的蜜源
我們產品創造的經濟利益,由蜜源提供單位共享,並且通過他們分轉給支援養蜂業的民族社區。有了社區的幫助,就可以保證未來蜜源的持續提供。
