Tea Tree after we first known it as an ornamental plant, we recently learned that it is also bee-keeping. Manuka, as it is called in the language of Māori the Tea Tree, produces as they say, of excellent quality and with strong antimicrobial action honey.
We have not tried it.
Instead, we have tested the Tea Tree – is meant as an ornamental plant. And we were excited.
The editorial team of ‘Kalliergeia’ recommends it unanimously.
The plant-lover let plant Tea Tree without fear.
And if the resault is bitter, then let’s throw it into honey.
And then, let him drink it like tea.
