Pure Taif Rose Honey
A Stunning Natural Honey From Taif (Makkah)
Taif Rose Honey is a rare and exquisite honey harvested from the famous mountainous rose gardens of Taif in the provence of Makkah, often referred to as the City of Roses, Taif is known for the famously fragrant flowers that grow in the surrounding wadis and mountains. It's also known as Saudi's unofficial summer capital. Because of its altitude, Taif is a cool escape from the heat and is regarded as one of the best honey varieties in the Middle East.
Every spring, the city of Taif blooms pink and red. First, the rose bushes blossom in the valley of Wadi Mahram, then higher up in Al Hada, and finally at 2,500 meters in Al Shafa, the mountains to the south of the city. Because of the altitude at which they’re grown, these delicate, intensely perfumed 30-petal wonders are a little fresher in character. The highly priced oil extracted from these roses is famous in the Muslim world and is favoured by the royals of the Middle East along with major brands such as Givenchy and Jimmy Choo to name a few.
The unique rose taste, colour, and scent combine to make this an extraordinary honey that is completely natural, nothing is infused, just the bees feeding from the beautiful roses and collecting the abundance of nectar and producing this prized variety.
Due to this honey being another rare find and small-batch, we have made a few jars available exclusively, get yours before they have sold out!

Customer Reviews
It has a distinct rose flavour that you can really taste. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan.
I have recently discovered raw honey and have bought a lot of this taif rose honey. As soon as I smelt it and tasted it, I knew this was the best honey in the world. I am still mind blown by the pure rose scent and taste and it's not infused. I can't even fathom it. Thank you to Maters for sourcing it and the bees and beekeepers for their hard work. Amazing what little bees can produce. I highly recommend it.
Taif Rose Honey is very beneficial, amazing and great tasting. Taif is a cold region of Saudi Arabia, this honey's effects will be similar comparatively to a Honey of UK or any cold area which is better in the UK than a Hot country's honey due to the resemblance with our climate, also with the added benefits of Rose flowers, which have multiple health benefits.
Truly luxurious flavour, texture, taste, and aroma....this honey is heaven in a jar!
Small jar received on offer (very grateful). I thought that this might only taste vaguely of rose: I was wrong. Its taste is Rose, like smelling one of the most gorgeous blooms, but in honey form... Absolutely delicious & would like to always have it in my cupboard.
