Certified Organic Ohia Lehua Honey:
"This honey is light golden in color and is creme-style
(a natural thick, grainy, spreadable texture) that makes it seem
even sweeter than it is. You'll love it on toast, with pears and blue
cheese, in green tea."
The Nibble, Great Food Finds.
Certified Organic Wilelaiki Blossom Honey:
"A robust honey with subtle smokiness and a peppery finish
- a connoisseur's delight. Best paired with roasted meats and
vegatables and cheese - not traditional sweets.
This is a gift for a gourmet."
The Nibble, Great Food Finds.
Macadamia Nut Blossom Honey: "The one to reach for when you want
something sweet on fruit, on pancakes and waffles or in herbal tea.
It's so much more satisfying than a typical candy bar,
or even (gasp) a spoonful of ice cream. Yes, it's that good."
The Nibble, Great Food Finds.
Certified Organic Tropical Blossom Honey: A natural, Certified,
100% Organic sweetener and perfect complement to all
our teas. Offered under the Thumb Organics® label.
Very sweet with an almost spicy finish.
Certified Organic Blue Borage: The Vipers Bugloss plant,
commonly known as Blue Borage grows wild in the remote
areas of the Clarence Reserve in the Kaikoura mountain range in
New Zealand. With its distinctive, generous flavor and high
fructose levels, Blue Borage Honey is a unique
sweetener in beverages such as coffee and tea.
The high fructose levels of this raw honey yield a very
thick, slow crystallizing honey.
The quote below is the perfect description of Blue Borage.
CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE 12 BEST HONEYS IN THE WORLD
BY SAVEUR MAGAZINE! March 2007, p. 25.
"On the tongue, this dark amber honey made from the nectar of bright blue borage flowers bursts with the taste of butterscotch. We think it's perfection when served over a warm scone." (Sierra Burnett, Saveur Magazine)
Certified Organic Rata Honey: Produced predominantly from the
Southern Rata on the West coast of New Zealand's South Island.
One of nature's unpredictable flowers, Rata does not bloom
every year which makes harvesting as unpredictable as the
blooming cycle. On the tongue this monofloral raw honey has
a very intense sweet/astringent flavor that quickly melts into a
fine almost silky texture with a praline butter cream finish.
In contrast to the fructose based sweetness of Blue Borage,
Rata honey is glucose based yielding a sublime, nuanced
flavor. Stir well before using. Rata honey will crystallize
quickly. Certified Organic by Agriquality.
Certified Organic Honeydew Honey: Harvested from the secretions of aphids living in the bark of native black beech trees, this honey is named for its glistening aspect, mimicking the morning dew. Aphids are the nectar harvesters in this case and the bees harvest the "dew" from the aphids. High in minerals, antioxidants, antibacterials, and "active". Certified Organic by Agriquality.
Honey that contains a second type of antibacterial activity in addition to its peroxide activity is called "active". This secondary activity is measured on a scale of 1-20. Honey that tests above 10 is considered active. This secondary antibacterial activity is unaffected by enzymes in the body that destroy the hydrogen peroxide components. It is unaffected by heat, light, or time. Can be effectively diluted without losing its potency.
Certified Organic Thyme Honey: Strong and assertive, this honey is high in antioxidants as well as being "active". Thyme, a member of the mint family, is native to the Mediterranean and was brought to New Zealand by immigrants. Somewhat reminiscent of Rata, Thyme honey has a consistency like very soft taffy and "pulls" like caramel topping. Thyme honey is very silky with a full bodied flavor that has been desribed as cumin, lilac, and maraschino. The flavor has a very long finish. Use sparingly on timid dishes as it can overwhelm less robust flavors. Paired with other assertive flavors this honey will shine. Thyme honey has a very strong floral bouquet that may surprise you.

Certified Organic Manuka Honey: ---VERY LIMITED SUPPLY!---
When this Honey sells out it will be gone forever!
Non active Manuka. This is a perfect way to explore the
wonderful complexity of Manuka honey. The taste of Manuka
honey is so unique and multilayered it is no wonder that
Saveur placed Manuka in the top three honey's in
the world (SAVEUR MAGAZINE March 2007, p. 25).
Certified Organic by Agriquality.
The taste of Manuka honey has been described as tasting of
hints of licorice, fennel, anise, and molasses among others.
