DISCOVER ACTIVE JARRAH HONEY

We bring you Jarrah honey from the south west corner of Western Australia, produced with care and bottled raw so you can enjoy a naturally rich taste. Jarrah is a dark, smooth and sweet honey with a gentle caramel note and a low GI profile. You get honest labels that show total activity so you can select with confidence. If you are looking for tasty honey that feels pure and natural, this is a wonderful place to start.

Our bees forage on Jarrah trees, Eucalyptus marginata, in Western Australian forests and clean bushland. Nectar flow depends on season and flower set, so colour and texture can shift from batch to batch. That variation is a sign of an unblended, single origin product rather than a heat treated or ultra filtered commodity. You taste nature, not processing.

Taste, origin and varietal character

Jarrah belongs to a family of Western Australian honeys with a strong sense of place. The trees grow tall and old, and their flowers deliver a nectar that produces a deep colour, a long finish and a naturally lower glucose balance. The result is a smooth spread that stays silky for longer. You can enjoy a spoonful on warm toast, stir a teaspoon through tea once it has cooled a little, drizzle over oats and fruit, or pair a generous jar with a cheese board. If you enjoy exploring other honey varieties, you can compare Jarrah with Marri, Karri or Desert Mallee to see how floral source and landscape shape flavour.

We keep handling minimal. Honey is extracted at cool temperatures, filtered lightly, and bottled in glass. Water content, aroma and texture are protected from harvest to pack. That is how we maintain quality you can taste.

Activity explained, TA for Jarrah and MGO for Manuka

You will see total activity on every Jarrah label. TA is the activity measure used for Eucalypt honeys such as Jarrah. It reflects natural antimicrobial strength measured under controlled conditions. Higher numbers indicate higher measured activity. Australian Manuka honey is shown with MGO rather than TA, since MGO is the recognised marker for Leptospermum honeys. If you want to compare, think of TA and MGO as different tools for different honeys rather than a single scale.

Every batch is independently tested by accredited laboratories. We show the activity on pack so you can check before you add to cart. Trade customers can request the certificate for a specific batch. This approach keeps the science clear without jargon, and it keeps shopping simple for anyone comparing products.

About health language and what we do not claim

You may search for phrases such as medicinal Jarrah honey, healing honey, anti inflammatory properties, sore throat or skin infections. We do not make medical claims and we do not position our honey as a treatment. We focus on food, origin, flavour and verified activity. If you want to learn about history and tradition, you will find it presented with care in our Learn section without promises of outcomes. Honey is not suitable for infants under twelve months due to the known risk of infant botulism, and that guidance stands across all honey products.

Total Activity rating which sits at 50+, making it incredibly rich in antimicrobial bacteria

Organic Jarrah honey and certification

Where a batch carries organic certification, we label it clearly as organic Jarrah honey. Organic certification is issued by approved bodies that audit practice against standards set by the Australian Government and recognised schemes. Not every site is certified, so we do not describe all products as organic honey. What is consistent is our focus on site stewardship, clean forage and careful harvesting. We do not add pesticides or blends to the jar, and we keep the product raw from hive to bottle.

What gives Jarrah its distinctive profile

Jarrah’s naturally lower glucose balance helps reduce rapid crystallisation, which gives you a smooth experience over time. The nectar and the phenolic compounds present in Jarrah contribute to the deep colour and long finish that many people describe as rich and exceptional. You can taste the difference in a simple cup of tea or a bowl of warm water oats, and you can see it when the honey holds a consistent sheen on the spoon.

How to enjoy Jarrah every day

Start with flavour and keep it simple. Stir a teaspoon into tea once it has cooled. Drizzle over fresh fruit or yoghurt. Fold through oats for a gentle caramel lift. Brush over roast vegetables near the end of cooking. Set a small dish on the table for cheese or dessert, then add a slow drizzle at the last moment. If you enjoy Manuka honey as well, try a side by side tasting to understand how TA and MGO express in taste and texture. Avoid heating above moderate kitchen temperatures so the raw character remains intact.

Comparing Jarrah with Manuka and other Western Australian honeys

Jarrah and Manuka are both celebrated Australian honey products, but they are not the same. Jarrah uses TA as its measure of natural activity. Manuka uses MGO. Both are raw honey when bottled without heat treatment, and both can be part of a varied kitchen. If you want a deep flavour for toast and cheese, Jarrah is a strong choice. If you prefer the distinctive note of Manuka, you can shop by MGO to match your taste. Western Australian honeys also include Marri and Karri with lighter profiles, so you can build a shelf that showcases the region.

What we do to protect quality

We manage production in Australia with a focus on bee health and clean sites. Beekeepers place hives in forest and woodland where flowers are abundant and the surrounding landscape supports a healthy forage pattern. Harvesting follows the flow of the season. We keep movement limited, avoid heat treatment, avoid ultra filtering, and protect the natural profile in glass. Every jar carries a clear label with varietal, activity and pack details so you can check the facts at a glance.

Simple ways to choose your TA level

If you want a bold Western Australian flavour, start with high total activity such as TA seventy plus or TA fifty plus. If you want a smooth everyday taste, TA thirty five plus and TA twenty plus are easy choices. TA ten plus is a gentle entry point for families who want a pure and natural spread. You can always step up or down after you have tried a jar at home.

Ordering, delivery and support

You select a TA level, pick a jar size, and place your order. We confirm your purchase, prepare your pack and send tracking by email. Delivery is fast within Australia, and international options are available through our regional stores. If you need guidance on activity levels, batch details or bulk supply, our team is ready to help during the working week. The goal is a smooth path from selection to delivery so you can focus on taste.

Why customers choose our Jarrah

You get a single origin Western Australian honey that showcases a rare tree and a distinct landscape. You get verified total activity on the label. You get raw handling rather than heat treated or ultra filtered processing. You get a flavour that feels sweet yet balanced, with depth that stands out in simple dishes. Most of all, you get a product that keeps the story honest from hive to jar.

Your next step

Explore the Jarrah range, compare TA levels, and select the jar that matches how you like to enjoy honey. If you are curious about Manuka honey, visit the Manuka collection and compare by MGO. If you are a retailer or a chef, ask about bulk formats and certificates for your preferred batch. When your order arrives, open the lid, take a spoonful, and discover why Western Australian Jarrah is renowned for taste and character.

[Speaker 1 – Samantha, Brand Ambassador – 0:01] One of the most popular flavours at Honey For Life is our Jarrah honey, sourced from these lush Jarrah Forests in Australia’s south west. Jarrah honey is made from an entirely unique variety, as the trees are only found in a small area of Western Australia. Due to the smaller area in which they’re located, Jarrah trees are highly sought after. We truly consider the honey we get from their flowers a treasure to be savoured. These amazing trees can grow to be over 40 metres high, flowering just every 2 years, and can even live to be over 400 years old.

[Speaker 1 – 0:39] Our Jarrah honey is a rich medium to dark amber colour. It has a full, intense and complex flavour that is more savory than sweet, as Jarrah honey is lower in glucose than other honey varieties.

[Speaker 1 tasting Jarrah honey – 0:52] I’d say it’s quite peppery.

[Speaker 2 – Shane, Honey For Life CEO – 0:54] The collection of Jarrah is a bit of a mystical art, because Mother Nature doesn’t always behave as she’s meant to and some years when Jarrah is meant to flower it doesn’t, and vice versa. So, in 2019 we were very pleased that we had a bumper crop of Jarrah which we are now storing in our premises, so that we can let it out over the next couple of years.

[Speaker 1 – 1:19] All of the honey we produce goes through testing to determine its Total Activity rating. Total Activity is the honey’s antimicrobial quality, meaning its ability to fight against bacteria. So, the higher the Total Activity rating, the stronger the antibacterial qualities. All of our honeys have an extremely high Activity rating. So not only are they delicious, but good for you as well!

[Speaker 1 – 1:44] One of our most unique products is our Super Jarrah honey, sourced from an exclusive Jarrah Forest just outside Karragullen with our highest Total Activity rating.

[Speaker 1 tasting Super Jarrah honey – 1:55] It’s a lot thicker… but it’s yummy. It almost tastes citrusy.

[Speaker 2 – 2:02] Historically, Jarrah Total Activity ratings are probably in the 30s. In 2019, Mother Nature gave us super strong Jarrah. We had it tested, and we got a lot of readings greater than 50, and that’s our product Super Jarrah.

[Speaker 1 – 2:19] If there was one Honey For Life product you have to try, it’s got to be this one. Pure, organic and delicious. Just the way nature intended.
