How Rangitāiki Rewarewa operates
Rangitāiki Rewarewa runs hives across the bush blocks behind Whakatāne and into the Urewera, timing each placement to the rewarewa flowering window. Their single-flora rewarewa is the deep, malty, locally-loved style. Outside the rewarewa season they harvest a multifloral bush blend from the same stands. They consciously don't run mānuka — partly because of the harvest pressure, partly because rewarewa is the harvest they care about.
