Karri Honey

Karri honey is light golden, and Icon Honey says it leaves a soft, sweet flavour on the palate. It comes from the karri, a tall eucalypt of the southern forests. The maker says the tree flowers every seven years, mostly from December or January until April.

Of Icon Honey's honeys here, karri is the gentle one. Blackbutt is strong and rich with a hint of molasses, Peppi is tangy and peppermint-flavoured, Blackbutt & Redgum pairs blackbutt's caramel with a peppery note from redgum, and Wildflower is a floral honey from country north of Perth. The maker suggests karri on crumpets and waffles, where its subtle flavour suits.

This jar is gathered from farming properties near Northcliffe and Pemberton and packed by Icon Honey, a family business based near Dunsborough. Icon Honey says it works with other beekeepers where it cannot reach a forest site itself.

Seeing it in person

Icon Honey has a tasting gallery inside Happs Pottery at Anniebrook. Happs Pottery's own site invites visitors to taste the honey (checked 3 November 2026). Check Happs Pottery's site before you go.

Delivery and flying home

Icon Honey's product page lists sizes but no delivery details (checked 3 November 2026), so check postage at its checkout. Honey counts as a gel. On most domestic flights it can go in your cabin bag. On international flights only containers of 100 mL or 100 g or less can, so a 250 g jar goes in checked baggage. Tasmania has its own honey rules. Rules change, so check Home Affairs and your airline, and see our flying-home guide.

Questions

Can I find out where a jar came from?
