Upendo Honey
Choose honey that does more
Upendo Honey produces premium organic honey sourced directly from Tanzania’s pristine forests. By working closely with local beekeepers and prioritising ethical, sustainable practices, every jar delivers a richer flavour while supporting thriving communities and forest preservation.
Every purchase not only tastes better but helps build resilient livelihoods and sustainable communities.
As a social enterprise, we are passionate about creating economic opportunities for Tanzanian communities — every jar of Upendo Honey supports local beekeepers, strengthens livelihoods, and connects forest-based producers to global markets.
How it works
We gather honey from smallholder beekeepers across the forests of Western Tanzania, and support them through training and access to equipment. A network of field officers works closely with beekeeper communities, providing training and monitoring year-round.
Meet the beekeepers
Each beekeeper and each bucket is assigned a unique QR code, tracked in our cloud database from collection through processing. Once processed, every batch keeps a full record of the buckets that contributed to it.
See our process
Our 500 m² warehouse and 150 m² processing room handle more than 2,000 tonnes a year. Honey ships in new epoxy-lined 300 kg food-grade drums, direct from Tanzania to major ports worldwide.
