Same forest. Same bees. Same cold-extraction process. The difference is in the TA rating — and that difference comes from the season, not from anything we do or do not do.
Jarrah honey's antimicrobial activity varies naturally between harvests depending on the season and the flowering conditions. Our TA20+ is honey that tested between 20-34% phenol equivalence — independently certified, batch-tested, and held to the same quality standards as our TA35+.

If you are new to active honey and want to start with a certified WA Jarrah product at an accessible price point, TA20+ is the right starting place. If you are using honey specifically for its antimicrobial properties at a therapeutic level, our TA35+ delivers a higher verified activity rating.
Both products are produced identically. The rating reflects what the forest produced that season.
-
Cold-extracted below 40 degrees C. Minimally filtered. Not blended. Independently tested by an accredited New Zealand laboratory. The TA20+ rating is the certified minimum — actual measured results available on request.
-
Deep amber. Rich and complex with the characteristic Jarrah tannins, dried-fruit notes, and a long finish. Indistinguishable from TA35+ on the palate — the difference is in the measured laboratory result, not in the flavour.
-
B-QUAL certified. Tested for C4 adulteration and pesticide residues. Pemberton region, Western Australia. Produced by Southern Ocean Apiaries Pty Ltd trading as South West Honey.
CONSIDERING TA35+ INSTEAD? Our Jarrah TA35+ is certified at a higher measured activity level — the same forest, the same process, the same beekeeper. The difference is $6 per jar and a higher independently verified antimicrobial rating. If you are buying honey for its active properties, the TA35+ delivers more of what you are looking for.
