Our family realized that honey could be a unique way to bring New Zealand to the world. To be true to New Zealand and its history, they decided to call the new thyme honey, Tāima – which means “thyme” in Maori.
The flower Thyme was originally brought into this part of New Zealand from the early Gold Mining pioneers during the 1800’s. Used for health benefits due to the very harsh living conditions bearing in mind that these early gold miners lived beside rivers and large rocky mountains panning away to try and make a living.
When Tāima was brought to the Queenstown area during the gold rush of the 1860’s it moved into the environment where it now grows wild and organic throughout.
Tāima Honey represents the kindness and collaboration between humankind and the nature. Brought to you in a jar.
During the 1800’s, gold miners introduced the wild Tāima flower to the Queenstown area as the old gold miners understood the health properties that came from other cultures over hundreds of years. Wild thyme has traveled through many civilizations right back as far as early Egyptian and Roman empires manly for its perceived healing properties.
