“To consume without context is to forget the hands that feed us.”
Crude is an inquiry into the distance between the source and the spoon. We are redesigning the ritual of nourishment to restore the intimacy of the harvest—moving beyond the transaction to find a more human way to consume raw honey.
Restoring the bond between the grower and the gatherer.
FOREST-HARVESTED | SINGLE ORIGIN | RAW HONEY
OUR ORIGIN
NATURALLY SIMPLE
“To sweeten nature is to misunderstand its inherent sufficiency.”
It begins where the noise ends—deep within the unhurried forests of Jharkhand, India. Here, the harvest of raw, unprocessed honey is not a schedule but a rhythm, dictated solely by the bloom of the Karanj and the hum of the hive. There are no factories, only the quiet patience of farmers who understand that you cannot demand sweetness from nature; you can only witness it. This honey is not manufactured. It is simply received; passed from the wild to the hands that tend it, and finally, to you.

WHAT MAKES OUR HONEY DIFFERENT
Never heated or pasteurised. Every drop stays alive with enzymes and nutrients.
Each batch comes from one region, one season, and one floral source—never blended.
Nothing added, nothing removed—only pure, natural honey as the bees made it.
We work directly with small beekeeping communities and ensure ethical compensation.
FROM HIVE TO JAR
OUR PROMISE
We honor the land, the bees, and the people who work closest to them. Every jar of Crude is raw, unblended honey, traced back to forest origin. We never heat, refine, or manipulate nature’s work. We pay our beekeepers fairly, protect the ecosystems we harvest from, and bottle only what stays true to the wild — pure, honest, and untouched.
