About this harvest
Usimi comes from Usimate, high in the Yemeni mountains — cooler, greener country than the desert valleys of Hadramout, and a noticeably lighter honey as a result.
It arrives with a section of the honeycomb still in the jar — the wax the bees built, filled and capped, cut out and packed as it was.
The comb is edible. Chew it and the honey releases; the wax itself is mild and slightly sweet. It is the most direct way to eat honey there is, and it makes the better gift of the three for exactly that reason.
Our honey is a food. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Honey is not suitable for infants under 12 months.
Questions before buying
How do I know this is genuinely Yemeni Sidr honey?
Every jar states the valley it came from and the season it was harvested. There is no grading system for Sidr honey the way there is for Manuka — a seller who cannot name both does not know their own supply chain.
Is it raw and unfiltered?
Yes. It is not heated, not pasteurised and not fine-filtered. It may crystallise over time, which is a sign it has not been heat-treated rather than a fault.
How does the subscription work?
Choose a delivery interval — every one, two or three months — and each delivery ships automatically at 10% off. You can pause, skip or cancel any time from your account; there is no commitment.
How should I store it?
Room temperature, lid closed, out of direct sunlight, and always use a dry spoon. It does not need refrigeration and does not meaningfully expire.
What if I do not like it?
Return it within thirty days for a full refund. You can open one jar and taste it first — we ask that at least 90% of the honey remains.
Can children eat it?
Not under twelve months — honey is unsuitable for infants because of the risk of infant botulism. Above that age it is an ordinary food.
