xA Taonga of the New Zealand Forest — Earthy, Aromatic & Deeply Traditional
Kawakawa is one of the most treasured native plants in Māori culture, recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves and often marked with small holes left by the kawakawa looper caterpillar — a sign of its natural, chemical-free growth. Our dried kawakawa leaves carry an earthy, slightly peppery aroma reminiscent of its close relative, kava.
Traditionally regarded as a taonga (treasure) species, kawakawa has been woven into Māori wellness and ceremonial practices for generations.
Suggested Uses
- Brew as a warming herbal tea, on its own or blended with other herbs
- Infuse into oils or balms for topical skin applications
- Add to baths for a grounding, aromatic soak
- Use in traditional-style poultices or compresses
- Blend with honey for a comforting evening drink
