The Most Important Commitment of TCN
Sustainable Beekeeping

Maintaining the health of the bees is essential for producing high-quality Manuka honey.  We are confident that this, in turn, directly benefits the health of our customers who consume the Manuka honey. This way, we raise strong colonies that can withstand various weather, predators, and diseases, allowing them to buzzing powerfully  around manuka flowers in the next season. 

أهم التزام لدى TCN تربية نحل مستدامة

① نحن نمتنع تمامًا عن استخدام طريقة “النحل القابل للتصرف”، وهي طريقة يلجأ إليها العديد من مربّي النحل من أجل الكفاءة.
② نحرص بعناية على الحفاظ على الرحيق الذي يجمعه النحل لاستخدامه كغذاء لهم خلال فصل الشتاء.
③ لا نقوم بإطعامهم بماء السكر، الذي قد يضعف النحل.

الحفاظ على صحة النحل أمر أساسي لإنتاج عسل مانوكا عالي الجودة. ونحن على ثقة من أن ذلك يعود بالنفع مباشرة على صحة عملائنا الذين يستهلكون عسل المانوكا.

بهذه الطريقة، نربي مستعمرات قوية تستطيع مقاومة مختلف الظروف الجوية والمفترسات والأمراض، مما يتيح لها الطيران بنشاط حول أزهار المانوكا في الموسم التالي.

What determines the MGO activity level?

The key to the activating level of Manuka honey, which is the natural active component methylglyoxal (MGO), is not originally present in Manuka nectar.

We determine the location of our beehives based on research data of Manuka tree nectar from the incanum variety, the only type known  to be rich in DHA. We follow a philosophy of natural harvesting, allowing the bees to work freely and minimizing stress as much as possible. We follow a philosophy of natural harvesting, allowing the bees to work freely and minimizing stress as much as possible. We believe that the health of the bees directly affects the quality of Manuka honey, which in turn is directly connected to the health of our customers. Although this method is far from efficient, it is the only way to pursue authenticity. As a result, no two batches are ever exactly the same.

Before the discovery of MGO

the unique components of Manuka honey were not identified, so there were various testing methods  to evaluate its activity level. The mainstream testing method at the time involved comparing it to the disinfectant phenol. However, this method had the drawback of producing significant errors. Consequently, after the discovery of MGO, this method lost its credibility.

After the discovery of MGO

The New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries established the methylglyoxal content as the sole indicator for active Manuka honey.  All products are required to display the amount of methylglyoxal per kilogram on their labels.

Analysis Reports

We are the original company that has included analysis reports with Manuka honey products since 1998. Starting in April 2010, we began labeling the MGO content. Each purchased product comes with an “MGO Analysis Report,” measured by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries certified “ALS Food and Environmental NZ.,” along with its Japanese translation.

To Our Valued Customers

Manuka honey is a popular health support product used worldwide and is consumed daily. However, the natural methylglyoxal (MGO), which is the key health component of Manuka honey, can deteriorate depending on management and storage methods. As a countermeasure, we bottle the honey when its quality is at its peak (in season) and have established a production facility in Japan to provide it with the same freshness as at the production site.

Storage Methods for Your Home

Store in a cool, room temperature place. Keep refrigerated for long-term storage of more than four months.

Commitment to Beekeeping

We harvest Manuka honey in the blessed natural environment, far from farmland, pastures, residential areas, and paved roads, in areas that can be considered the homeland of Manuka trees. Our beekeeping activities are carried out in an environment free from herbicides used on farms and pastures. From the perspective of product safety, we do not use any chemicals under any circumstances in apiaries where natural Manuka forests grow, as these trees do not possess herbicide resistance. Additionally, to ensure greater safety, we conduct regular food inspections, which have proven that there are no detectable pesticide residues.

As of January 21, 2021, the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries requires sample testing for pesticide residues at approved institutions for exports to Japan. Only those that meet the current standard of glyphosate (0.05 ppm or less) are permitted for export. We only sell products that have passed the test, so you can purchase with confidence.

التزامنا بتربية النحل

نقوم بحصاد عسل المانوكا في بيئة طبيعية مباركة، بعيدًا عن الأراضي الزراعية والمراعي والمناطق السكنية والطرق المعبدة، في مناطق يمكن اعتبارها موطن أشجار المانوكا الأصلي. تُجرى أنشطة تربية النحل في بيئة خالية من المبيدات العشبية المستخدمة في المزارع والمراعي. ومن منظور سلامة المنتج، لا نستخدم أي مواد كيميائية تحت أي ظرف في خلايا النحل حيث تنمو غابات المانوكا الطبيعية، إذ أن هذه الأشجار لا تتحمل المبيدات العشبية.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لضمان سلامة أكبر، نقوم بإجراء فحوصات غذائية منتظمة أثبتت عدم وجود أي بقايا مبيدات قابلة للكشف.

اعتبارًا من 21 يناير 2021، تتطلب وزارة الصناعات الأولية في نيوزيلندا اختبار عينات لبقايا المبيدات في مؤسسات معتمدة للصادرات إلى اليابان. يسمح بالتصدير فقط للعينات التي تفي بالمعيار الحالي للجليفوسات (0.05 جزء في المليون أو أقل). نحن نبيع فقط المنتجات التي اجتازت هذا الاختبار، لذا يمكنكم الشراء بثقة.

Excellence of Honey Filling

Due to the Manuka boom, current filling factories in New Zealand receive requests from multiple brands, making the traceability of the filled raw materials quite unclear. There have been frequent news reports about incorrect raw materials being filled.

Therefore

We transport honey harvested by small-scale beekeepers, led by a Japanese experienced beekeeper, under strict temperature control. The honey is then processed into products at a domestic factory with organic JAS certification for repackaging.

Excellence of Jar

We have reconsidered the standard plastic bottles used in New Zealand and adopted “light-shielding glass jars” that  keep the honey delicious, safer, and suitable for long-term storage. This is the world’s first attempt to use light-shielding glass jars for New Zealand Manuka honey.

Efforts for High Quality

The precursor of MGO, DHA decreases as it converts into MGO during maturation. Conversely, MGO continues to increase with the decrease in DHA, but recent findings indicate that after reaching its peak, MGO gradually decreases. We consider the gradual curve of MGO levels and produce and ship in small batches at the optimal times.

*MGO is a unique component of Manuka honey. It is a natural substance that gradually transforms from the precursor dihydroxyacetone in Manuka tree nectar into MGO due to the temperature environment within the hive. MGO plays a significant role in maintaining our health.

World First !
Capturing the “Peak” of MGO!

Predictive Model for Manuka Honey Substances at 20℃

*Note: The graph is merely an example.

We predict the conversion rate from DHA to MGO and manufacture in small batches to ensure that the products reach you around the peak of MGO. This approach captures both the maturation of the honey and the “peak” of the active component MGO.

Since MGO is sensitive to temperature even after the product is completed, to maintain quality, it must be stored in a 24-hour temperature-controlled warehouse until just before shipping. This is one of the reasons why we do not engage in retail or wholesale sales.

We switch to “refrigerated shipping” during the summer to account for high temperatures and storage conditions in case of delays due to bad weather.

We test MGO and DHA content of each raw material before production and manufacture according to order quantities using skilled techniques based on experience.

Why We Recommend Subscription Purchase

We prioritize production plans based on the shipping dates and quantities of regular subscription items, ensuring that the products reach our customers during the peak period of MGO.

Since this is a rare product with limited harvest quantities, there is a possibility of it being in short supply. Therefore, with regular subscriptions, we prioritize securing the product for our customers.

This near-customized sales method is a unique strength of TCN, which oversees the entire process from harvesting to production and sales, and is unparalleled worldwide.
