The Story of Gelam Honey
Gelam honey is a Malaysian honey from the flower of Gelam (Melaleuca cajuputi) tree that was collected and produced by Apis Dorsata bees. Our Gelam Honey is sourced from an area in the east coast of Malaysia, where there is a 4 km area of wild Gelam Forests. There is no pollution in the area because the ground is sandy and it is not a significance area for farming and such. Being close to the seaside it receives plenty of hot sun which is not suitable for many plants except native trees.
Our search for gelam honey was a wonderful experience and it is almost like a walk through an enchanted forest. We had a taste of the gelam, it has the Kelat (bitter taste) with sweetness. The combination of those make the honey taste special and pleasant, easy to take. As you taste the honey, you will not miss the wild forest flavour and aroma and it is significant that it is sourced from a unpolluted area, as the sweetness of thr nectar persists. The honey also gives out a medium strong gelam tree aroma, typically if you consistently consume, you will notice the unique apis dorsata honey sweet and sour after taste.
Our limited source of gelam is due to the bloom season which occurs only twice a year. Despite it being lesser known than Tualang and Kelulut, Gelam is in its own league which sought after for its beautiful, and devoted taste.
