Manuka and Kanuka are in the tea tree family and related to the familiar
Melaleuca quinquenervia that is a plague in Florida. The flowers also
smell basically like melaleuca flowers, so I would assume that honey
made from them would have a similar taste.

Putting sweetener in tea is a waste of good tea, but putting a strongly
flavoured sweetener in tea seems to miss the whole point of tea.
