• I ordered this from Yemen directly and it took about two months to arrive.  
• In her book The Honey Trail, Grace Pundyk writes that there are several types of sidr honey and that they "are named after the seasons in which they are harvested: shatwi (winter) honey is the most prized, but kharfi (autumn), rabi'i (spring), and sayfi (summer) honeys are also valued."  Grace Pundyk, The Honey Trail at 19.  I have no idea when this honey was harvested, but it can't be winter honey.  It's not that good.
