In the misty Nepalese Himalayas, our chestnut honey, Mârani, begins its journey during the fleeting chestnut bloom once a year. The Himalayan Apis cerana, a resilient native bee, forages exclusively on these chestnut blossoms. Local bee keepers then harvest this honey with care, respecting the rhythm of nature.
Once a closely guarded secret of mountain tribes, this honey was recently found to be naturally high in kynurenic acid (KYNA), a compound attracting growing scientific interest for its potential role in supporting vitality and well-being.
Harvested just once a year, Mârani embodies rarity, depth of flavor, and unfiltered purity—every drop a luxurious expression of the Himalayan spirit.

Mârani Gold
The Quintessential Expression
Mârani Gold embodies the true character of the Himalayan landscape. A pure and unfiltered tribute to the chestnut blossom, Mârani, created by the native Apis cerana bee, has a rich, complex flavor and potent natural compounds. The Gold variant, with KYNA levels > 200 µg/g, is the perfect introduction to Mârani and a thoughtful element in a daily ritual of conscious living.
Mârani Reserve
The Pinnacle of the Harvest
For those who seek the rarest and purest expression of Himalayan honey, Mârani Reserve offers an intimate encounter with nature’s finest. Drawn from the smallest, most limited micro-batches, each jar carries an intense, layered, and profoundly resonant character, rich in potent natural compounds like KYNA (>550 µg/g). Our Reserve variant represents a select harvest from the high Himalayas, limited in supply, meticulously chosen, and embodying the most refined expression of Mârani.
The Fleeting Harvest
Our journey begins in the brief, golden window between monsoon and winter. With generations of experience, local beekeepers harvest chestnut nectar at its perfect peak, hand-gathered and meticulously logged to ensure complete traceability.
Curation by Nature's Signature
All harvests are carefully pre-screened, combining modern techniques with traditional wisdom, and are evaluated for their KYNA content, a hallmark of their natural quality. Only those meeting our exacting standards are classified as “Gold” or the exceptionally rare “Reserve.”
The Art of Preservation
Each batch is cold-extracted with deliberate care, untouched by heat. This minimal-touch approach preserves the full spectrum of pollen, propolis, and fragile enzymes. The result is a harvest that retains its natural vitality and integrity, a pure expression of the Himalayas captured in every drop.
The Unwavering Verification
Before reaching your table, every Gold and Reserve batch undergoes thorough third-party testing. NMR profiling confirms authenticity, carbon isotope analysis ensures purity, and heavy metal and pesticide analyses leave nothing to chance. Each step reflects Mârani’s quiet promise of honesty, care, and uncompromising quality.
Sealed with Intention
After passing all tests, our honey is gracefully bottled within an FSSC- and HACCP-certified facility. Each step, from harvest origin to final verification, is recorded on the blockchain, connecting your jar’s unique Batch ID to its true origin. Every jar of Mârani carries the purity of the Himalayas and the care of its keepers.
