Kombu Honey
Kombu Honey is a unique variety made by small forest bees that gather nectar from wildflowers growing on herbal plants and trees found in dense forests, hilly areas, and mountainous regions. Unlike Hill Honey—which comes from rock bees—Kombu Honey has its own distinct flavor and texture due to the different bee species and the wide variety of plants visited.
