Raw Orange Blossom Honey, Carolina Reaper Chili Pepper

About the Infusion

This small batch, house-infused hot honey combines gorgeous Florida Orange Blossom with hades-hot Carolina Reaper chili peppers for a sweet, molten heat that will have your taste buds begging for more.

The Carolina Reaper chili pepper measures somewhere between 1.5 and 2.2 million on the Scoville scale, and we love how its natural sweetly floral and fruity notes complement the citrus and floral sweetness of the Orange Blossom honey in this infusion. But don't let its sweetness on the front fool you - this spicy honey finishes hot, hot, hot!

We recommend this hot honey on wings, pizza, or in your favorite marinades. If you're feeling adventurous, use this honey in your favorite margarita for a truly spicy evening.

This is a small-batch honey, and spiciness may vary from batch-to-batch.

Honey Facts

Our passion for teas...

We are delighted to be able to share one of the largest and most varied collections of single origin traditional teas on the East Coast with our communi·tea. Personally curated by owner Hayley, these teas come to us from small farms and collectives and represent the best of their terroirs and production styles. While wondering our shelves in-person or online, you will discover familiar favorites like English Breakfast and Long Jing (Dragonwell) alongside rare teas like Shan Lin Xi and herbal tisanes blended for mindfulnessinflammation, and much more.

& bees...

Raw honey is one of nature's most marvelous gifts. Not only is honey a marvel of energy-giving carbohydrates fortified with antioxidants, minerals and beneficial enzymes - making it the healthiest natural sugar - honey comes in a rainbow of flavors and varieties with something for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. From dark, robust honeys like Buckwheat and Chestnut to light or amber honeys like Tupelo or Orange Blossom, the subtle and sometimes not so subtle flavor differences between varietal honeys lend themselves to extraordinary flavor combinations and experimentation in the kitchen, on the charcuterie board, or in your favorite cup of tea.

all started with our Queen Bee!

A trained chef, Hayley's vision for Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. has been her entire lifetime in the making. Though she was still drinking espresso at the time, the Tea & Honey seeds were planted in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants with training and appreciation for food and beverage as not just sustenance, but experience and hospitality. Her time spent as a chef-instructor at Jacques Pépin's French Culinary Institute introduced her first to matcha (and its ability to enhance sustained and steady focus), then to the subtleties of single-origin traditional teas like high mountain Taiwanese oolong. As a celebrated and awarded taster and master of culinary arts, in 2015 Hayley opened the doors to Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. Since then, she has cultivated a communi·tea for discovering rare and exciting teas, extraordinary raw honeys & unique gifts produced by small farmers and artisans from around the world.
