US launch price US$49.90 per 20ml bottle through both the "brick" and "click" store
Setting up a manuka and kanuka nursery operation for new planting stock is an important part of the agribiz operations.
A key element in the provenance trust is the farming in a tikanga compliant manner, the manuka plants on a managed harvest cycle.
In order to protect and preserve the plants for both honey & oil production, tikanga protocols protect the bush and enhance dual honey/oil income.
Gender Specific tea tree oil is produced by atmospheric pressure steam distillation, guaranteeing purity in oil production.
Laboratory tests in NZ and the US, show that oils grown and produced in New Zealand are rich in monoterpenes and sequiterpenols
NZ tea tree oil production then enters a valued added process that sees retail ready SKU's from a trusted provenance exported to the world.
With its twin 500kg extraction tanks and less than two hours cooking time per load, "The Beast" can produce circa 5,000 kgs of manuka / kanuka oil per year. Based on current retail priceis of manuka oil in the US, this volume of oil would have a retail value of circa USD12.5M (NZD18M) PA.
Recently imported into NZ, "The Beast" is probably the most modern and technologically advanced plant-oil extraction unit in Aotearoa/NZ. With atmospheric driven, steam pressure delivery, the plant is very easy and safe to operate in remote rural locations where appropriate.
It comes with a five year contract kicking in after a 90 day induction period which when completed, transitions you into becoming an active member of a unique rural "Business Combination" ecosystem. One that interfaces the owners of multiple ownership Maori owned tea tree bushland in New Zealand / Aotearoa with a cooperatively structured support process from "seed to ship" for the export of shelf ready SKU's.to the US for distribution.
It was from this massive, 2000 plus acre bushland station in the far north of NZ, that foliage was cut for oil samples to be sent to the US for laboratory analysis. We were really pleased when the results came back, showing that manuka oil from Kohumaru Station had a therapeutic terpene chemical family count of over 90% and less than 2% leptospermone, (i.e. beta triketone). A naturally occurring toxin that plants produce to protect themselves from being overrun by competing vegetation. A toxin now chemically synthesized to produce agricultural sprays for plant control.
To do this job, one sure must have the heavy equipment on the farm. Yes, that's Luke doing the hard stuff "supervising".
350 kgs of manuka foliage ready for transport to "The Beast" for cooking and sample oil extraction for testing in Florida. The results are stated above.
