Five honeys from the Dakotas to Massachusetts, one for each day, stacked in a holiday honey tasting set: Sweet Clover, Raspberry Blossom, Autumn Wildflower, Cranberry Blossom, and Buckwheat, in 3 oz jars. We made only a handful.
Five jars, five fields, one tower. The Honey Tasting Tower is like a wine flight, but sweeter. The jars are arranged from light to dark so you can taste your way through the spectrum. Start with the pale, almost-clear honey that’s delicate and subtle. End with the nearly black jar that’s rich and intense. Every spoonful tastes like the field it came from.
Order two Honey Tasting Towers, one for someone who appreciates what they eat, and keep one for yourself.
How to use: Taste straight from the spoon in order, or put the honeys to work. Lighter varietals belong on fresh chèvre, sliced pears, or ricotta toast. Mid-range honeys pair well with aged cheddar, grain crackers, and roasted nuts. The darkest jars hold up against blue cheese, dark chocolate, and bold red wines. The 3 oz jars are also an easy way to try a varietal before buying a full-size jar.

Five, in 3 oz jars: Sweet Clover Honey from the Dakotas, Raspberry Blossom Honey from the Pacific Northwest, Autumn Wildflower Honey from Pennsylvania, Cranberry Blossom Honey from Massachusetts, and Buckwheat Honey from New York. Every jar is minimally filtered and jarred by hand in our Owings Mills, Maryland facility.
The Honey Tasting Tower changes through the year based on the honey we can get. Five Days of Honey is five set honeys picked for the holidays, and we made only a handful. Both use the same tube and the same 3 oz jars. If you want these five together, get this tower before it sells out.
Go light to dark. Start with Sweet Clover and finish with Buckwheat, so the strongest flavor doesn’t cover the more delicate ones. A sip of water or a plain cracker between jars keeps each one distinct. Some people taste one a day over five days; others line them all up at once.
Crystallization is what raw, minimally filtered honey does. It is not spoilage, not a defect, and not a sign that anything has gone wrong. Most varieties will start to set within a few months, depending on the floral source and the temperature of your kitchen. To return it to a pourable state, place the sealed jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes and stir gently. Skip the microwave, which can scorch the natural enzymes and aromatic compounds that make raw honey worth buying in the first place.
Warm, mild, and rounded, with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and a quiet hint of nutmeg. It reads closer to baking spices than to the bright floral character of something like orange blossom. The aroma carries a vanilla and fresh hay quality that mirrors the scent of the sweet clover plant in full bloom, and the texture is thick without ever being heavy. This is the honey that makes everything it touches better without ever making a scene about it.
Brightly sweet and syrupy, with distinct notes of pollen, ripe berries, and a mild earthiness in the finish. It doesn't taste like raspberry extract or flavored candy. It tastes like the flower itself, which is a different and more focused thing entirely. There's a real berry quality to it that comes through clearer than a wildflower honey would, without ever feeling overpowering. Think field, not candy aisle.
That depends on the season. Spring and early summer harvests are lighter in color and sweeter, with delicate floral notes from clover, fruit blossoms, and the first wave of pollinator-friendly plants. Late summer and autumn harvests run darker and richer, taking on the deeper character of goldenrod, asters, and late-season blooms. Every jar carries a snapshot of whatever was blooming when the bees were working, which means the flavor shifts gracefully across the year. Coming back each season is part of the fun.
Sweet but never heavy, with a soft, recognizable cranberry tang underneath. Reviewers consistently describe it as reminiscent of cranberry relish, which tracks (same blossom, different form). The tartness is gentle rather than puckery, and it balances the sweetness in a way most honey simply cannot. If you have ever wanted a honey with the bright lift of fresh fruit and none of the cloying quality some varieties slip into, this is the jar that delivers.
Bold, malty, and deeply sweet, closer to dark molasses than anything floral. There's an earthy undertone underneath that lingers on the palate. If your taste runs toward dark beer, strong coffee, aged cheese, or chewable red wine, Buckwheat will feel familiar the second it hits your tongue. This is honey for people who want their honey to actually announce itself, not the one for delicate scones or afternoon tea.
