In September 2022 this won a Two-Star Great Taste Award from the UK Guild of Fine Food. Known as the "Oscars" of the fine food world, thousands of food products enter the annual Great Taste awards, but only very few win two-star awards. Read on for the judges' comments.

description

227g net weight in a glass jar

The world's first bioactive honey from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. A tastier and affordable alternative to manuka honey.

Lab certified 17.0 antibacterial Total Activity (see certificate).

Equal to TA 17+ MGO 631 manuka honey, which costs up to £60 a jar.

Why spend £60 on a 250g jar of Comvita manuka 15+ honey when you can get a tastier 15+ honey for less?

From bees feeding in the Amazon rainforest, the most biodiverse region on the planet.

Raw (unpasteurised), none of the pollen has been filtered out.

Certified organic GB-ORG-04.

Crystallised, with tasting notes of smoked tropical fruits and an aftertaste of papaya.

The judges who awarded this honey a Two-Star Great Taste Award described it:

"This honey is thick and crystalline in texture and appearance. The aroma on the nose is distinctly of forest floor, which follows through on the palate. The floral and leafy flavours linger on the palate with great length."

"A thick, granular honey. On the nose, this promises a lot and doesn't disappoint on the palate: the aromas are highly perfumed and aromatic, and every sense is heightened."

"What an experience. It has a wonderful chew and deep, complex floral character that persists and opens out with length and made us all very happy! A unique, special product."

Read on for more details about the origin, taste, and uses of this crystallised honey.

origin

The Amazon jungle is the world's largest tropical rainforest. It is the lifeblood of the world’s largest ecosystem that spans about two-fifths of the South American continent. More than half of all the plant species on the planet are found in the Amazon jungle. It is known as the lungs of the planet due to the amount of oxygen it releases into the atmosphere.

To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 427 mammals (e.g., jaguar, anteater, and giant otter), 1,300 birds (e.g., harpy eagle and toucan), 378 reptiles (e.g., anaconda), more than 400 amphibians (e.g., dart poison frog), and around 3,000 freshwater fishes, including the piranha, have been found in the Amazon.

The pollen composition of this honey is:

97% pink Mimosa silk tree
3% other

uses

In accordance with EU directive 1924/2006, we are unable to make any health claims about any of our honeys. The information given below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes, or anecdotal based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred from the plant properties that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or provides the same benefits as the plant.

The pink Mimosa silk tree has been used medicinally by Mayan civilisations for over 1000 years to relieve a wide range of conditions and ailments.

The pink Mimosa silk tree has been used in Chinese remedies for nearly 2000 years as a natural calming herb. It is known as the "tree of happiness" or the "happiness herb."

There is scientific research-based support for the use of the Mimosa tree to relieve worry, stress, and sleep issues.

[See Jung JW et al. Effect of chronic Albizzia julibrissin treatment on 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptors in rat brain. Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2005;81(1):205-210.]

In fact, a pharmacoepidemiologic study in Taiwan in 2002 found that the Mimosa tree was the third most commonly prescribed Chinese herbal remedy for treating sleep problems.

This honey can be used like ordinary honey but is best taken as a teaspoon of this honey mixed into a glass of cool or warm (not hot) water and drunk three times a day on an empty stomach.

Absolutely delicious!

I have a variety of honey from Latin honey shop and they are all delicious with a particular taste. I keep this one for the evening in a glass of warm water

Amazing

I ordered 5 different honeys (best taste awards) and they are the nicest honey I ever tasted, I’ve been telling people about it and I have no doubt they will agree. Some have set which I enjoy and the rest are still runny. Favorite tasting is the Rivera for me.

Great buy!

Easy ordering process. Good communication throughout. Fast delivery. Secure packaging. Ordered as gifts for others, they have all appreciated the gift.

The honey is absolutely delicious. 100% worth it, I'll be buying more soon.

Received quickly

Tastes lovely, only used for a week so too early to know.
