And it is not only the species. Here it is particular cliff colonies, particular weeks of the bloom, particular altitude — the same flower down in the...
On the buying side, from here: with the recycled bottle you have no idea what is inside, what syrup went into it, or how hot it was heated. The sealed...
Please ask the origin question even if it feels rude. Shipped from UK, packed in UK, fine — the honey still came off a cliff and out of someone's hand...
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 ...

@Jake roughly yes, two main hunts. spring honey and autumn honey arent even the same thing. and the higher cliffs get harvested later because the rhod...
One thing that is not about customs. When you mail this honey, remember what it is and where it comes from. The honey hunters take real risk for it. I...
altitude matters because the rhododendron forests that produce the strong nectar grow at certain elevations. lower down you get more rhododendron spec...
