Chichri Alpine White Honey | The Rare | A3200
Almost white. Harvested once a year.
Plectranthus rugosus — known locally as Chichri — grows only in select pockets of Himachal Pradesh's high mountain valleys. Above 3,000 metres, in places where the air is cold and thin and few hands have ever reached, this flowering shrub blooms briefly each year. Our bees, which know these ridges better than any map, gather its nectar in small, precious quantities.
The honey that emerges is pale cream — almost white, with a faint luminous quality unlike anything produced at lower altitude. On the palate: delicate and mineral, with a clean floral sweetness and a lingering alpine clarity that fades slowly, without weight. Like all raw honey, it crystallises: it sets into a thick, fine cream, nearly white, that holds on the spoon rather than pouring — beautiful served straight from the jar. Should you want it to pour, stand the closed jar in warm water, never above 40°C.
We harvest it once a year. The yield is small. Each jar is a record of a single season, a single altitude, a single bloom.
Our suggestion: taken from a wooden spoon, undiluted. Let it sit on the tongue. Let the mountain speak.

Our honey is 100% pure, organic, and unprocessed. To preserve its natural aroma, texture, and nutritional properties, please follow these simple care guidelines.
Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always keep the lid tightly closed after use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from entering. Use a clean, dry spoon each time to avoid contamination.
Natural crystallization may occur over time—this is a sign of raw, authentic honey. If you prefer a liquid texture, place the jar in warm water for a few minutes. Do not microwave or overheat, as this may affect the honey’s natural enzymes.
With proper care, your honey will remain wholesome and delicious for a long time.
We carefully pack and ship every order to ensure your honey reaches you safely and in perfect condition. Orders are processed promptly and dispatched using reliable shipping partners.
As honey is a natural food product, we do not accept returns once the jar has been opened. However, if your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 36 hours of delivery, and we will be happy to assist you.
Your satisfaction matters to us, and we are always here to help.
