Hill Honey / Malai Then
Hill Honey, or Malai Then, is a precious harvest from high-altitude wildflowers that thrive in the pristine, unpolluted air of the mountains. Unlike commercial honey, which is often a single-source product from mass-cultivated crops, Hill Honey is a complex "bio-snapshot" of mountain biodiversity, containing rare micronutrients and trace minerals absorbed by deep-rooted mountain flora that are essential for metabolic balance.
