Why Infusing Herbal Smoking Blends With Manuka Honey is the New Standard

For many, the habitual pairing of green with tobacco is a routine that can be a hard one to shake.  Seeing the problem that so many of us in the UK face, we decided to reinvent the ritual.

Our Moderate Herbal Blend is designed for people who want to stay grounded, intentional, and completely nicotine-free…

But there is one special ingredient that truly sets our blend apart from alternatives on the market… Manuka honey.

But what’s it doing in a smoking blend and why are we obsessed with it?

 

The Secret Ingredient: Manuka Honey

Most herbal smoking blends rely purely on dried plant matter. And while that works, it can leave the mix feeling a little... dry.

If you've ever rolled with a dry herbal blend (like is standard in Amsterdam coffee shops), you’ll know it’s not ideal. It burns too fast, it’s harsh on the inhale, and it lacks that satisfying pull we’re are used to.

Enter Manuka honey - our not-so-secret weapon that changes the game.

Unlike standard artificial humectants (substances that retain moisture) used by the tobacco industry (ie. Propylene Glycol), Manuka honey naturally locks in just the right amount of moisture, giving the herbal mix a smooth, consistent burn.

That means there’s no artificial additives, just a touch of nature’s nectar that makes everything burn a little better.

 

Why Manuka Though?

Let’s be real - Manuka honey isn’t cheap. So why not use regular honey?

Simple: quality, texture, and anti-microbial properties.

Manuka honey has a thicker viscosity. This makes it an excellent natural humectant for smoking blends - one that doesn’t overpower the herbs and helps the blend burn more like what you’re used to, without the nicotine.

What’s more, Manuka honey is rich in anti-microbial compounds, which kills any bacteria, prevents mould and keeps the blend fresher for longer.

For our community of conscious consumers, it’s about replacing without compromising. That’s the balance we’re after and it takes a premium ingredient to achieve that.

The Smooth Burn Factor

Ask anyone who's tried a poorly made herbal blend - it’s all in the burn. A smooth, even burn is key to a satisfying experience. Manuka honey works as a binder, gently holding the plant material together and slowing the burn, so you don’t feel like you’re racing to the roach.

Think of it as nature’s slow-mo button.

Reclaim the Ritual - Without the Nicotine

We created the Moderate Herbal Blend for users who are done with the nicotine loop. Whether you're quitting tobacco or just experimenting with alternative ways to roll, our mix gives you something that feels familiar, but without the stuff you’re trying to leave behind.

Made from a thoughtfully curated mix of marshmallow leaf, rose petals, hops, chamomile, and marigold petals, our blend is gentle, floral, earthy, and easy to roll. The infusion of Manuka honey enhances the aroma, creates a fluffy texture and is anti-microbial, keeping the blend fresher for longer.

It doesn’t try to be baccy. It’s something else entirely.

Not Just an Alternative - A New Standard

If quality matters to you then you’ve come to the right place.  The existing herbal blend companies simply chuck herbs in a pretty packet and do very little to create a positive consumer experience. 

We’re trying to disrupt the space and show that choosing to buy from a small business is best, because we work on a scale which ensures you get the best product.

So, if you're searching for a way to say goodbye to nicotine that complements your lifestyle, then you've come to the right place.
