Unlike rare tea buds, honey has a familiar mental\n  price anchor AND a famous premium rival (Manuka, with decades of brand +\n  UMF grading behind its price). Bambara doesn't have that recognition yet,\n  so 4x risks \"why pricier than Manuka?\" resistance and can suppress sales.\n  ONLY sustainable with exceptional presentation + a genuine limited-harvest\n  scarcity story (numbered small-batch jars, stated tiny yield).\n  SAFER SWEET SPOT (~2.5x, still genuinely luxury \/ Manuka-tier):\n        125g $39.99 · 250g $69.99 · 500g $129.99 · 1kg $239.99 ($240-320\/kg)\n  Leave full-price (no discount) to signal quality either way.\n  ⚠️ SHIPPING: honey is HEAVY (glass + jar). From Sri Lanka that's costly —\n  do NOT offer free shipping on this unless the price absorbs it. Consider a\n  flat honey shipping rate, or bake it into the price.\n\n  💡 PRESENTATION: sell it in a proper glass jar with a clean label; a wax\n  seal \/ batch or harvest-season stamp reinforces the wild, small-batch,\n  collectible story. This is a gift\/flagship product.\n\n  🚨 COMPLIANCE — HONEY IS A MAJOR CLAIM TRAP. Do NOT use ANY health\/medical\n  language: no antibacterial, antioxidant, immunity, medicinal, healing,\n  wound, sore throat, energy, anti-allergy, \"superfood\", etc. Sell RARITY,\n  ORIGIN, RAWNESS, FLAVOUR, and GIFTING only.
