Does mānuka taste like regular honey? Yes - and no.
Mānuka honey is sweet but often has an earthy, slightly bitter or herbaceous flavour, with a rich, viscous texture due to proteins.
Regular honey tends to be lighter and sweeter, with clearer consistency due to processing and filtration.
Many first time mānuka consumers are surprised by the difference in taste but soon grow to prefer the deep flavour profile that come with the health benefits of mānuka.
