Brand Designer

Manukora is a global wellness brand, leading the fast-growing US Mānuka honey category. We're on a mission to preserve the power of Mānuka and deliver it to the world in pure, functional formats at uncompromising quality, purity and potency.

Born in the wilds of New Zealand, we harvest one of the planet's rarest natural resources: raw Mānuka honey. This creamy caramel super honey contains unique antioxidants, prebiotics, and a special antibacterial compound called MGO.

Established in 2015, we are a founder-led, family-owned business headquartered in New Zealand with operations globally in the United States and Europe. Manukora is a certified B Corporation, working with locally-based master beekeeping partners to produce the highest quality Mānuka, leading through ethical beekeeping practices and investing in our bees, their environment and the communities that surround them.

We are a team of beekeepers, herbalists, food scientists, and wellness professionals working to deliver this one-of-a-kind honey and reimagine the immune and digestive wellness categories.
