what should 'himalayan cliff honey' actually mean on a label
A question about the phrase rather than the honey. If a jar says himalayan cliff honey, I'd expect three things sitting behind it: a place specific enough to name, a harvest that actually happened on a rock face rather than in boxes on a hillside, and a season.
Mostly I see it used as atmosphere. Nothing on the label ties those words to a batch, and when you ask, the answer gets vaguer instead of more precise. So what's the honest minimum before that phrase means anything at all?
minimum is it survives one follow up email. ask which cliff and watch "himalayan" quietly widen into "the himalayan region" by the second reply
District and who harvested, that is my minimum. Cliff is not a style. It is a place with a name and people who climb it. Once it turns into a flavour word, the family who did the climb has disappeared from the sentence entirely.
@KiranFromNepal that's the version I'd want printed on the jar. @BrandWatcher and the widening is the tell - I've watched a named district become "the region" and then "the Himalayas" across three emails.
realistically nobody is putting coordinates on a jar though. district, season, batch id you can ask questions about - thats roughly the ceiling, and its already more than most sellers manage
