Raw Organic Pink Lychee Honey From Mexico 227g

Monofloral organic honey from bees feeding on organic lychee tree plantations in the tropical Atlantic coast of Veracruz, Mexico.

A crystallised honey set with natural honey crystals with an intensely floral aroma, tasting notes of jasmine flowers and the cool, tingling aftertaste of lychee fruit.

As each crystal dissolves in your mouth you experience an intense burst of flavour that lasts long after the honey disappears into your body.

[Note: This honey does NOT contain any lychee fruit extract, added flavour, sugar or ingredients; it is pure, natural honey.]

It is raw, certified organic, unfiltered, unpasteurised and living... as natural as if you collected it yourself.

In August 2022, this honey won a Two Star Great Taste Award from the UK Guild of Fine Foods, in the annual "oscars" of the fine food world. The awarding judges said:

"Grainy, with a very strong and surprising lychee flavour. An original, unusual, deep, dark intense honey. Fruity and floral, this really is a talking point."

"This honey gives a depth of flavour unexpected but long lasting and fragrant. Its wonderful taste is delicate but full of flowery notes which allow the texture of crystals enhance the taste even more, extending the pleasure of eating this raw honey."

"A honey with a lovely fresh aroma and acidity. It is fruity and delicious and has a pleasing, juicy, almost citrusy feeling in the mouth. The slightly grainy texture was very enjoyable, and overall we found it a very uplifting honey that would have a variety of uses."

This honey tastes delicious straight from the spoon or mixed into cold water, makes a nutritious and refreshing drink.

Read on for more details about the origin, taste and uses of this crystallised honey set with natural honey crystals.

 

Origin

Lychee (sometimes spelt litchi) is a soft, whitish-pink coloured pulpy fruit that is cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions and is available for a very short period of time during the summer months.

Lychee (Litchi chinensis) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15-28m high. Bees feed on its flowers to produce this honey.  

Taste

Tasting notes: Caramel and jasmine flowers with the cool, tingling aftertaste of juicy lychee fruits

Texture: part-runny, part crystallised (sets quickly due to the high pollen content)

Aroma: intense floral

Sweetness: sweet

 

Uses

At least 65% of this honey comes exclusively from lychee fruit flowers.

This honey can be used like ordinary honey but is best taken as a teaspoon of this honey mixed into a glass of cool or warm (not hot) water and drunk once a day on an empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast.
