Ingredients

Pure, Raw, Minimally Filtered Linden Basswood Blossom Honey

Why Our Linden Basswood Honey Is So Special: True Linden Basswood Honey represents one of beekeeping's most prized but elusive treasures. The basswood tree, also known as the linden tree in many regions, produces cascades of fragrant, nectar-rich blossoms that hang pendant-like from the branches. These blossoms appear for a brief window, creating a limited opportunity for this distinctive honey production. What's particularly fascinating about this varietal is how it defies honey conventions – offering an intensity of flavor that surpasses what its lighter color would suggest.

- Flavor Profile: Experience a distinctive sweet hay and herbal taste with surprising intensity that creates a memorable tasting experience unlike conventional honey varieties
- Aroma: Enjoy the aromatic herbal fragrance that enhances its sensory appeal and unique character
- Color Evolution: Witness its fascinating transformation from an initial greenish hue to clear yellow-amber over time
- Natural Crystallization: As a pure, raw honey, it may naturally crystallize over time – a sign of quality. Simply warm gently to restore its liquid state

The Linden Tree Story: The basswood or linden tree has a rich cultural history beyond its role in honey production. These majestic trees, native to the northern hemisphere, have been revered for centuries for their beauty and their heart-shaped leaves and fragrant cascades of small, yellowish-white flowers. When linden trees bloom, typically in late spring to early summer, the air fills with their sweet, intoxicating fragrance. Bees are naturally drawn to these blossoms, which produce abundant nectar during cool, dewy mornings. The limited blooming period, combined with the specific growing regions of basswood trees, makes this honey particularly rare and sought-after.

As an exceptionally rare variety that took years to restock, our Linden Basswood Honey represents a special opportunity for honey connoisseurs. This distinctive treasure makes an impressive addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate unique flavor experiences.

According my son, this is best tasting honey he has tried so far. It is not overly sweet. Just perfect sweetness.

This sounded intriguing, so we had to try it. It is definitely unique- its menthol/medicinal personality makes us feel prepared for cold and flu season. Oh, and in the spirit of research, we tried the Flu Beater Martini recipe... we're now doubly confident we're ready. (Although, there's no reason to wait around to get sick...)
