Kiss the Flower Honey, Star Thistle | Tupelo, 1 lb

Kiss The Flower’s Star Thistle honey is light gold in color, and has a very mild and pleasing floral taste. This 2019 crop is the tastiest Star Thistle honey in a decade! What makes this honey so incredible is the sweet and tart balance and long-lasting aftertaste. It has a distinct aroma of anise (some say almonds), with delicate notes of sweet and spicy cinnamon, molasses, and a distinct finish of butterscotch.

Rose water meets cotton candy! Considered the finest and most revered varietal honey produced in the U.S., this 2022 harvest Tupelo honey is produced from the flower nectar of the Tupelo tree (Nyssa ogechee), also known as the Ogechee Lime tree or the White Gum Tupelo. Honeybees produce this amazing honey during a three week Spring bloom in the dark Southern swamps of the Apalachicola River basin of Florida. It’s not just the flavor and texture of Tupelo honey that makes it unique, but also the very chemical composition of the honey. All honey varieties contain the sugars fructose and glucose. These compounds are used by our bodies as a primary energy.
