Elite Mad Honey is a rare selection of the famed Nepalese wild mad honey, chosen from stronger traditional harvests. Dark, floral, and resinous, it sits far from everyday table honey and closer to a niche mountain harvest with deep cultural roots.
Traditionally collected in Nepal from wild hives in mountainous terrain, often through labor-intensive cliff-harvest practices tied to long-standing local knowledge and seasonal availability. The rare cliff-harvest tradition behind Nepalese mad honey has been documented by major international media, including National Geographic and Reuters.
Mad honey is historically known for its unusual psychoactive reputation and its association with ritual and shamanic use in Himalayan regions. At lower amounts, however, it is often sought for a subtler character: clearer, lighter, and more controlled, without the intensity associated with larger doses.

Dense floral sweetness with a darker herbal edge and lengthy lingering finish.
