Our honey

Unlike any other

Sourced from remote corners of Tanzanian forests, the flavour profiles are unmatched. This is traditional honey harvesting.

Harvests

Two seasons a year

Our blossom honey and honeydew honey come from the miombo woodlands of Tanzania. Colour and character change with the forest and the season. Every batch is graded light or dark on arrival and analysed for botanical and geographical origin. Analysis for any available batch can be sent on request.

Miombo Blossom

June – September

Our Miombo Blossom variety is named after the miombo woodland where it is harvested. Miombo is the dominant woodland type in East Africa, with a wide range of flowering trees, shrubs and grasses. Bees combine nectar from these plants to create a honey with a unique flavour. It is produced from June to September, at the end of the long rains, when the forest flowers and the bees can make honey while the sun shines.

Miombo Blossom is an amber honey with a strong flavour, a distinctly sweet floral taste and a touch of citrus. The wide range of flowering plants gives it a rich character and a strong aroma of wild forest flowers.

Miombo Honeydew

October – December

Honeydew honey is made from the sugar-rich liquid released by aphids, insects that feed on plant sap. Our Miombo Honeydew is named after the miombo woodland where it is harvested. It is collected during the short rainy season, between October and December.

Miombo Honeydew is a dark amber honey with rich floral flavours and a deep, woody taste. Its strong character makes it a good choice for cooks who want to add depth and a distinctive flavour to their dishes.
