The Jar — 01

Our Story — 02

Harvested on cliffs, not in farms.

Twice a year, Gurung honey hunters descend rope ladders their grandfathers wove, smoke drifting up the rock face, to cut wild comb from colonies that have never known a hive. It is dangerous, patient work — and the only way this honey exists.

We pay harvest crews directly, take only what the cliffs can spare, and leave every colony standing for the next bloom.

Questions — 05

Before you taste the legend.

Everything worth knowing about wild Himalayan mad honey — where it comes from, how it’s tested, and how it reaches your door.

What is mad honey?

Mad honey is a rare wild honey produced by Apis laboriosa, the world's largest honeybee, foraging on high-altitude rhododendron bloom in the Himalayas. It has been prized in Nepal for centuries for its deep reddish color, complex bittersweet taste, and legendary potency.

Where does your mad honey come from?

Every jar is harvested from wild cliff hives at around 3,500 meters in Nepal's Annapurna foothills. Gurung honey hunters climb rope ladders twice a year to cut wild comb by hand, and each batch is traceable to its cliff and harvest crew.

Is your mad honey tested?

Yes. Every harvest is lab-tested for purity and consistency before it ships. The honey is raw — never heated, never blended — and poured in small numbered batches of 250 g jars.

How should mad honey be enjoyed?

Sparingly. Mad honey is traditionally enjoyed in small amounts — a modest spoonful at a time — and treated with respect. It is noticeably stronger in character than table honey, which is part of its centuries-old legend.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. Jars ship worldwide in secure, temperature-protected packaging, with reliable tracked delivery from Nepal to your door.
