Honey and Spice on Brown Living™

Honey and Spice

The founders in their 20s used to travel a lot across India, on one of their treks in the Western Ghats, they met a honey honey gathering tribe in the year 2014. Even though they both had tasted 100% natural honey in their backyards when they were kids, somehow that experience had left them. Tasting the honey harvested by these tribal honey gatherers was the moment where they reconnected with their childhood memories. Suddenly it struck them, "we cannot get this honey in a city super market, even if we wanted to". That's how Honey and Spice was born. Since then for the past 8 years, the team has been curating premium, all-natural and exotic products from across the country for their customers.

About Honey and Spice

Team Honey and Spice travels across the country, meeting Small farmers, Tribal Honey harvesters, and Beekeepers to bring you the best produce from nature.

Brand Story

We are a very small team based in Bangalore, India, who strive to live as bees do. It all started when we encountered an indigenous tribe in one of our trips, whose occupation was Honey Harvesting. It proved to be life-changing as we learnt about their lives. The experiment that we started then has turned out to be our passion now. It has been a beautiful journey from selling honey at flea markets to gourmet retailers. Every team member is talented in their own way, with diverse backgrounds, which helps us enrich and balance as we all operate across product development, e-commerce, sales, accounting, and design. We work with numerous farmers and indigenous forest tribes from diverse regions of India. We intend to preserve our planet’s biodiversity, nourish and take care of our people, and their traditional methods.
