Ti-Toki Liqueur

Ti-Toki Liqueur The rebirth of Aotearoa’s first native liqueur.

Crafted in Hawke’s Bay with Mānuka Honey, Kawakawa, Gisborne Orange, Tītoki and the wairua of the ngahere (the spirit of the forest).

The numbered, limited edition Ti-toki tekoteko vessel marked the rebirth of a New Zealand original.

Released in December last year, these handcrafted limited-edition vessels have been filling shelves and joining collections throughout Aotearoa.

Each one was formed and glazed by hand, giving every vessel its own rich colour and individual character. With only a small number now remaining, this first chapter is drawing quietly towards its close.

The much-loved ngahere-inspired' kākāriki 💚🌿🌳 standard release will carry the legend forward - but these numbered variegated chocolate-y brown vessels will always belong to the beginning.

Arohanui to everyone who has welcomed one into their home 🤎

Ti-toki tekoteko vessels are not produced in one anonymous run.

They are made in small batches, moving through forming, drying, firing, glazing and finishing before they are ready to leave the workshop 🔥

Each stage takes time. Each firing asks for patience. Each vessel carries subtle differences that reveal the hand of its makers.

He mea hanga ā-ringa - crafted by hand 🙏❤️

You may occasionally notice a gentle haze or fine sediment in your bottle of Ti-toki, particularly during colder weather ❄️✨

Ti-toki is made with real mānuka honey and native botanicals. When the temperature drops, the honey can begin to thicken towards its natural state, while botanical oils, resins and fine honey compounds may become more visible or settle at the base of the bottle 🍊🍃🍯

This is completely natural and does not affect the quality of the liqueur. In fact, it reflects the authentic ingredients used to make it!

Simply bring the bottle towards room temperature, gently invert or shake before serving, and enjoy as usual 🥃

Before the colour, before the shine, each Ti-toki tekoteko vessel starts here.

Formed from New Zealand clay, every vessel is carefully prepared and checked before Karuna begins the unique glazing process. From this quiet stage, layers of colour and fire will give each one its own character.

Made slowly. Made in small batches. Made to be enjoyed, refilled and loved.

He taonga tuku iho - a treasure to be passed on ❤️🖤💚

He tino whakahīhī mātou - we are incredibly proud to share that Ti-toki Liqueur has been awarded a Silver Medal at the New Zealand Spirits Awards.

For us, this medal recognises the liquid at the heart of Ti-toki: mānuka honey, kawakawa, orange and tītoki leaf, brought together in a liqueur that is wholly of Aotearoa.

This Friday is the awards event, where our handcrafted tekoteko vessel has also been entered in the Innovation and Packaging categories.

We are excited, hopeful and deeply grateful for the opportunity to enter.
Ngā mihi nui to everyone who has supported the return of this New Zealand original.

At the heart of Ti-toki is a distinctly New Zealand liqueur, crafted with mānuka honey, kawakawa fruit, orange and tītoki leaf 🍑🌿🍯

On the nose, floral honey meets bright citrus and forest greens. The palate is silky and warming, with marmalade brightness, earthy tītoki and the gentle peppery spice of kawakawa.

Enjoy it over ice, pour it after dinner, or let it bring the ngahere into your favourite mixer or cocktail 🍸

Nau mai ki te ngahere — welcome to the forest 🌳

Earlier this week we sent out all the pre-sales that came through since we announced the return of the legend, Ti-toki Liqueur.

This relaunch has been a labour of love; we've had many nights working through until the wee hours, building clay moulds, perfecting glazes and nailing the recipe. We know the new owners of these handcrafted bottles will be so happy with their purchases!

Our last day to send out more Ti-toki Liqueur this year is Tuesday 23rd - so please place your order by Monday night if you would like to receive your order before 2026 arrives. Otherwise we will be back dispatching from the 5th of January.

Thank you for being with us on this journey! We can't wait to see what the future holds for Ti-toki Liqueur.
