One harvest a year · wild-harvested in Nepal · lab-tested per batch

Complete the ritual
No infusing, no additives, no step where something gets put in. It is different because of where it was made.
Rhododendron blooms high on the ridges for a few weeks a year, and the bees work it. No hives, no plantations — the colonies are found, climbed to, and cut by hand.
Every batch goes to an independent laboratory, Lab Nagel. The report names the sample, the method and the measured content — and we publish it on our own site rather than describing it.
One level teaspoon in the last hour of the day, straight off the spoon or stirred into warm water. That is the whole instruction.
Before you buy
You are being asked to trade something that definitely works for something that might not. So here are the parts that do not flatter us.
One teaspoon works out around $5.50. That is a glass of decent red, every evening. There is no cheap version of this: one harvest a year, cut by hand off a cliff, and a lab report per batch.
One level teaspoon. Not a spoonful, not a dollop. A 50 g jar is about seven teaspoons — seven evenings — and it is meant to last exactly that long.
Some people notice very little on the first evening. This is a shift in the last hour of the day, not a switch. If your first spoon does nothing that is normal, and it is usually because it was too little rather than too much.
One teaspoon, twenty to forty minutes before you would have poured. Not together with alcohol. Adults only. Not while pregnant or breastfeeding, and not alongside prescribed medication or a heart condition without asking your doctor first. This is sold as food, not as medicine.
Give it seven evenings before you decide — that is what the 60-day guarantee is for, open jar and all.
The honest comparison
Only on the things you actually notice in the evening. Not on health — that is not the argument we are making.
Two 50 g jars are fourteen evenings. Roughly what the wine costs — without what the wine costs you the next morning.

Why buyers pick ours
No hives and no plantations. The colonies sit on open cliff faces and are reached on foot.
Every batch goes to an independent laboratory and the report is published on our site, not offered on request.
What the bees store in that window is all there is. When a season is finished we do not top it up with something else.
Email us within 60 days of delivery and you get your money back. Open jar, half-empty jar, either way.
Is it even real mad honey? Reddit says most of it is not.
Most of what is sold online is not, and that is a fair thing to arrive with. It is also why there is a certificate on this page instead of a badge. Not all mad honey is the same strength, and we publish ours. Take the number off the report and compare it against whatever else you are looking at.
How do I know my jar is the batch you tested?
The report names the sample and the batch. If you want the certificate for the batch that arrives at your door, email us and we will send it.
Tested at Lab Nagel
Every batch goes to an independent laboratory, Lab Nagel. The report names the sample, the method and the measured grayanotoxin content — the compound that makes this honey what it is. We publish the number rather than describing it.
One region, one season
Nepal. Wild colonies on open cliff faces, cut by hand during the single annual rhododendron bloom. No hives, no plantations, and never blended with table honey.
Approved under the IMHSI standard
The International Mad Honey Standards Institute sets a sourcing and testing standard for this category. We are approved under it — you can check us at imhsinstitute.org.
Small annual volume
One harvest a year sets the ceiling. When a season is finished it is finished; we do not top it up with something else.
Better than a glass of wine 🍷

60-day money-back guarantee. Give it a week of evenings. If it is not for you, email us within 60 days of delivery — open jar, half-empty jar, either way.
In their own words
4.7/5 from 761 verified Judge.me reviews
Real reviews from verified buyers, unedited — typos included. Picked because they are about the evening and the morning after.
Wow!! Loving this honey. Glad to have purchased it. Better than a glass of wine 🍷.
I highly recomend Real Mad Honey if you like to relax after a long hard day of work! Or just to relax in the evening.
This is the best unwinding supplement of alike tat I have ever taken. No grogginess in the morning, no crazy distortion of reality like alcohol or THC, just a smooth calm and relaxation. Even better - best sell I’ve had in YEARS
Fantastic product, it gives me a good mood in the evening after work.
Excellent product great to use to during the day or evening nice calming feeling.
I tried mad honey recently and had a really positive experience with it. The effects came on gradually and gave me a calm, mellow feeling that helped me relax and unwind. It put me in a good mood without feeling overwhelming, and I noticed a soothing, almost peaceful vibe throughout the experience. The taste was unique and earthy, and a little went a long way. I also appreciated how it helped me slow down and just enjoy the moment. Definitely something to approach carefully and responsibly, but overall it gave me a calming and pleasant experience.
Every one of these is a real review on Judge.me. We do not write them and we do not edit them.
Awkward questions
One level teaspoon, about five millilitres, twenty to forty minutes before you would have poured a glass. Not more. Most people who notice nothing on the first evening took too little, not too much.
Darker and far less polite than ordinary honey — slightly bitter, a little sharp, closer to burnt caramel and citrus peel than to clover. Straight off the spoon, or stirred into warm (not boiling) water or tea.
No. One or the other. If you have already had a drink, leave the spoon for another evening.
A 50 g jar is about seven teaspoons, so seven evenings. The 100 g comes as two 50 g jars — fourteen.
Then tell us. You have 60 days from delivery, the jar can be open and half gone, and you get your money back. Before you do, check the serving: one full teaspoon, twenty to forty minutes ahead, on an evening you have not been drinking.
Adults only. Not while pregnant or breastfeeding. If you take prescribed medication or have a heart condition, ask your doctor first. It is sold as a food product and it is not medicine.
We ship from our US warehouses, tracked. Orders inside those regions carry no import charges. If you are ordering from outside them, your country may add duty or import VAT on delivery, and that is charged by your carrier rather than by us — full detail on our shipping page.
Yes. It is a natural food product — wild honey — and it is not a controlled substance. It is sold as food, for adults.
