Seattle is known for excellent local honey — blackberry, fireweed, and wildflower jars from Puget Sound are some of the best in the country. Mad honey is not that.
It is a rare, wild-harvested honey collected by Gurung cliff hunters high in Nepal's Annapurna range. The bees (Apis laboriosa) forage almost exclusively on rhododendron flowers growing above 2,500 meters. The result is a dark, reddish honey with a bitter-sweet taste and naturally occurring grayanotoxin — something no local Seattle honey contains.
| Point | Local Seattle Honey | Himalayan Mad Honey |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Blackberry, fireweed, wildflower | Wild rhododendron at high altitude |
| Bee | Common honeybee | Himalayan giant bee (Apis laboriosa) |
| Key Difference | Pure floral honey | Contains natural grayanotoxin |
| Taste | Sweet and clean | Sweet first, then bitter and peppery |
| Harvest | Managed hives | Twice-yearly wild cliff harvest |
| Availability | Farmers markets & stores | Limited seasonal batches only |
Mad honey is not meant to replace your regular jar. It is a completely different product with a long cultural history.
Yes. Washington State has no special restrictions on mad honey. It is treated as a food product under normal regulations.
You may have heard of occasional "mad honey" incidents in the Pacific Northwest. Those almost always involve backyard bees foraging on ornamental rhododendron plants — uncontrolled and different from intentionally harvested, lab-tested Himalayan mad honey that comes with clear dosage information.
Every jar is sealed and dispatched directly from our Kathmandu facility. There's no regional distributor between your order and Nepal.
Average delivery time to Seattle is 7–13 business days, including standard clearance handling at the point of entry.
Full tracking from the day it leaves Nepal. Every order is insured, and lost or damaged jars are replaced free of charge.
Because potency varies between batches, beginners should always start low:
Store the jar in a cool, dark place. Seattle's climate is actually ideal for long-term storage of raw honey.
Sourced directly from Gurung cliff hunters in Lamjung.
Every batch is independently lab-tested.
Batch number + QR code links to the exact lab report.
30-day money-back guarantee on every order.
No middlemen, no mystery origin.
The 250g jar is best for first-time buyers. The 500g jar is better value if you already know you like it. Free shipping is included on both sizes, and each batch ships with its own lab report.

Nepal sourcing really does make a difference in potency compared to what I tried before.
