These rare Jarrah and Marri honeys are harvested from Jarrah and Marri trees respectively in different seasons at different times of the year. In fact Jarrah honey is harvested every 2-4 years as the trees bloom only in the right climatic conditions. These trees are native and endemic (meaning that it does not exist in any other part of Australia or the world) to the south-western region of Western Australia. Each tree produces a unique type of nectar that results in distinct honey varieties and taste profile.

While raw honey is generally safe for adults and children over the age of one, infants below 12 months of age should NOT consume raw honey due to the risk of botulism.

Pregnant or nursing mothers should consult their doctor before use.

No. They are not pasteurized or ultra heat treated. Pasteurization destroys all the wonderful antimicrobial, antioxidant properties of the honeys. They are filtered from some pollen and other residues of the bees or hives but are never pasteurized, ensuring that they retain their natural enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients.

Basically, the higher the heat, the more the nutritional value of the honeys are reduced or destroyed.

We highly recommend that when you are making a cup of tea, make sure it is cooled to about 60 deg C/ 140 deg F before adding the honeys. Truth be told, for most nutritional benefits of teas to be retained, and to avoid tea leaves getting “burnt”, you should never add boiling water to tea. Adding milk or some slightly cool water will help cool your tea down faster, after steeping your tea, so that our honey can be added.

Yes! KOORA honeys can be applied topically to moisturize skin, soothe minor burns, and help with eczema or psoriasis or even bruises. Their high TA rating enhances antimicrobial effectiveness. They also contain amino acids that support collagen production for youthful, glowing skin. Dilute with water before applying directly.

Store the honeys in a cool, dry place at room temperature away from sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain freshness and prevent any crystallization setting in early.

TA stands for Total Activity, a scientific measure of the honey’s antimicrobial potency. Every batch of KOORA honey is independently lab-tested and certified for its TA rating. The higher the TA, the stronger its ability to fight bacteria and support immunity. Unlike Manuka honey, KOORA’s antimicrobial strength is derived from hydrogen peroxide, not methylglyoxal (MGO), making it a safer choice for long-term health.

KOORA honey has a naturally low glycemic index (GI) of just 46 - lower than Manuka, clover, and buckwheat honeys. This means it causes a slower, more stable rise in blood sugar, making it a smarter sweetener for those managing diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Disclaimer: KOORA honey is still a natural sugar and should be consumed in moderation. We recommend one to two teaspoons per day, preferably straight from the spoon, as part of a balanced diet. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice. For more details please refer to our Disclaimer section in the footer.
