Honey and Spice Mangrove Honey

Description

:

• 10 years ago we were on a trip exploring the Mangrove forests of Sunderbans. 
• On our cruise across the Brahmaputra our guide mentioned casually that every year at least 10 honey harvesters die of tiger attacks while harvesting the Mangrove honey.
• Popularly known as Blood honey for the toll it takes on harvesters, this honey is one of the rarest honeys in the world.
• The mangrove forests consists of 100s of kms of diverse flora which the bees forage on to produce this honey.
• It so intrigued us when they mentioned that the harvesters wear tiger masks to deceive the tigers if they try to attack from behind.
• In recent times the government & NGOs together have taken steps to make honey harvesting safe in the Sunderbans.
• This year we have received a 10 day old harvest of Mangrove honey, straight from across the Brahmaputra.
• This honey is a must have on your shelf.
• We have to warn you, the honey is back after 2 years and the demand is going through the roof.
• The forests of Sunderbans are the biggest mangroves in the world!
• One of our world’s natural wonders, this massive forest is also a tiger & ecological reserve.
• Every year, the tribals of the Sunderbans go in search of wild beehives in the mangroves and collect very limited quantities of this exotic wild honey.
• Harvested from the mangroves of the Sunderbans, this rare and exotic honey provides livelihood to the indigenous people of the Sunderbans.
• Made by Apis Mellifera species of bees by collecting the nectar from thousands of mangrove flowers, this honey will transport you to the mangroves.
• Our GI-tagged Sundarbans honey, harvested from the mangrove forests, offers a unique flavor and natural health benefits.
• Floral honey with mild fruitiness.
• Just dip your freshly baked bread in this honey and take a bite to experience the flavours of the mangroves.
