A single drop holds the forest
തേൻതുള്ളി — the honey drop
Raw, unblended honey from our own hives in the hills around Trivandrum — cold-extracted, never pasteurised, and traceable to the bloom it came from.
Why Thenthulli tastes different
Harvested in the Western Ghats
One of the most biodiverse landscapes on earth. Our hives sit among rubber estates, homestead gardens and the forest edge of the Agasthyamala hills.
Native Indian & stingless bees
Apis cerana indica and Tetragonula iridipennis — the bees that belong to these hills. We move with them too, migrating to the mountains for the post-monsoon forest bloom.
No pasteurising, no blending
Cold-extracted and gravity-strained, never pasteurised or ultrafiltered. Every batch dated to its season and lab-tested against FSSAI standards.
Watch: The Honey Drop
Our story in 2½ minutes — fifty years of listening to bees.
Fifty years of listening to bees
Our family has kept bees in Kerala since 1975. Thenthulli carries that half-century of craft into every jar — tended by hand, harvested only when the comb is fully capped, and bottled without pasteurising so the living enzymes, pollen and aroma survive the journey to your table.
From the rubber estates that flush gold in February to the wild forest blooms of the Agasthyamala range, we simply bottle what these hills offer, honestly.

Our bees follow the blooms, and the blooms follow the seasons. After the monsoon we migrate our hives into the mountain ranges for the wild forest bloom, and bring them home in December.
