About Us
More than a job...a passion
Born in Tahiti, we moved to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in 2014. Stung by a passion for beekeeping back home, we decided to be part of the NZ honey industry. Over time our apiaries have grown throughout the local region, servicing local honey demands, now we are starting to export into Europe. Working with other beekeepers, we have kept supplying pure Manuka Honey as sustainability as possible.
Made in New Zealand
There are several types of honey in the world, but there is only one Manuka honey. Aotearoa's whenua (land) has much indigenous or native forest, where our bees can source the purest pollen from this unique environment, where the richness of soil guarantees our bees to have a healthy life far from intensive agriculture.
The story behind AHA
Earlier on our beekeeping journey, we formed a partnership with a local kiwi family. We used our children's names to identify our label, AHA. It represents the first letter of our children's names: Akitahi (our daughter) - Heidi - Ameliya (Our partner's children).
