About this Honey
Harvested from giant Rhododendron forests in the cliffs of Nepal and the Himalayas. This honey is famous (and infamous) for containing grayanotoxins, which can be psychoactive or toxic in large doses ("Mad Honey"). It has a reddish hue and a biting, bitter-sweet flavor. It is traditionally used in very small amounts as a medicine, not a food.
