Our organic certified Ume now available to order.
We did another harvest today. The trees had both green and colouring up (starting to ripen) Ume - so you can order green or ripening Ume, or both.
North Island orders will send via NZPost Courier Overnight. South Island orders will send via PostHaste Courier (2 day delivery). Both will be non-signature deliveries unless you specify (it avoids a delivery delay if you are not there to sign).
All orders will be packed with ice pack to keep them as cool as possible in transit.
Parcel tracking will be emailed once packed and ready to ship.
You are ordering in 1kg units.
Thank you so much for your order. Enjoy making your 2024 edition of Umeshu/Umeboshi/Ume Syrup/Ume Jam.
Please note: the ripening Ume. When you receive, leave them in an open bowl at room temperature for 2-3 days and they will start to ripen up fully. You will be able to smell the fragrant aroma of the ripening Ume. For Umeboshi, you want them just very slightly soft. For Ume syrup & jam, you could use them immediately, or let them continue to ripen. Basically, check the Ume when you receive and decide from there.
BTW: did you know Ume trees are thorny!
