Tasting notes: Rich, amber color with sweet floral notes of southern European summers.
In the mountains at the far western reaches of Spain, fields are vibrant with wildflowers and among them, cantueso, or wild lavender blooms. This wonderfully floral raw honey is as exquisite as the area of origin and a tasting experience to savor. This enchanting and wonderfully delicious floral honey is produced from bees pollinating the lavender buds in the early summer.
Try this honey drizzled over sharp sheep milk cheeses, in your favorite evening herbal tisane (think: Field of Dreams, La Provençale, Chamomile) or over vanilla ice cream with berries and dark chocolate.
Available in a 12oz glass jar.
(Please Note: Our Wild Lavender honey is not infused with lavender. While delightfully floral in taste, this monofloral honey should not be confused with infused lavender honeys we have carried previously. If you'd like to see infused lavender honey come back to the shelves, send us a suggestion - we love to hear from you!)
Natural raw honey has the seemingly magical capability of spontaneously "setting" or crystallizing. Each honey will crystallize at a different rate based on the sugar and water composition. With its wonderful texture and more concentrated flavor, we recommend crystallized honey as a delicious spread over toast! If liquid honey suits you better, simply heat a warm water bath to 100 degrees and remove the pan from the heat. Submerge your jar with the cap removed and allow to stand 20-30 minutes. It will be ready to pour again! An uncertain amount of time will pass before the honey may need de-crystallization again, and then simply repeat these steps as needed.

Tasting Notes: Light amber color with a delicate yet buttery mouthfeel and sweet, cinnamon finish.
Our raw Alfalfa Honey comes to us from North Dakota, and it is our favorite for baking or use as an everyday sweetener! Visitors to our Saratoga Springs Tea Bar will recognize our Alfalfa honey as the sweetener in our locally acclaimed, fresh-squeezed Lemonade in the summer.
Alfalfa is a legume often grown as feed for cattle. Rich in mineral and vitamins like Vitamins K and C, we also use Alfalfa in some of our herbal blends, like Health Potion. Alfalfa has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its antioxidant effects, including anti-inflammatory properties.
Alfalfa honey is notorious amongst beekeepers and honey purveyors for being quick to crystallize. The great news is crystallization does not mean your honey is bad and there's an easy fix! You can simply put your jar of Alfalfa honey in a hot water bath (about 120 degrees F) and it will re-liquify. Or, you can whip up your crystallized honey in a blender to make a delicious spread! (Hint: If you're looking for a honey that rarely crystallizes, check out our Tupelo Honey!)
Due to its delicate sweetness, our raw Alfalfa Honey is an excellent complement to just about any tea, but we recommend using Alfalfa honey to sweeten lighter teas like white teas, green teas, and lightly oxidized oolongs.
Alfalfa honey is good for so much more than sweetening tea or lemonade! Learn more about how to substitute honey for sugar in baking on our blog. Or for recipes using Alfalfa honey, try:

Basswood (or Linden) honey is prized as one of the finest honeys in the world. The Basswood tree blooms their hanging floral clusters for only a short time in late spring, while the bees are busy pollinating. Our mid-western Basswood honey is mild, light, and delicious with notes of fresh spearmint. Enjoy this honey over nut butters, your favorite yogurt, or indulge by the spoonful!
Basswood pairs beautifully with our more delicate and floral white teas or white tea blends such as Yaddo Rose Garden.
