Raw Unprocessed Honey

In partnership with JT Trading, Vietnam we are able to bring high quality of raw unprocessed 100% pure honey.

We are producers and suppliers of: Coffee Blossom Honey, Mint Flower Honey, and Longan Flower Honey directly from the highlands of Vietnam.

COFFEE HONEY
All natural, raw Coffee Blossom Honey from Vietnam. Medium sweet with a very pleasant caramel color. Plus a little kick of caffeine.

DESCRIPTION & ORIGIN
It took us a few years to find a good source for this honey. While a fair amount of coffee blossom honey is made around the world in Asia, South America and Africa, it is hard to line up dependable sources for high quality honey. We now have a good source from a coffee plantation located in the highlands of Vietnam.
This honey comes from the nectar of arabica coffee plants. Both the nectar and the honey do contain some caffeine. At least one study found that this caffeine boosts memory in bees, helping them to return to the same flowers again and again until the nectar is all collected.

COLOR & TASTE
Extra Light Amber in color, coffee blossom honey is medium sweet with a very pleasant caramel-apricot flavor that builds as the honey dissolves on your tongue. Some people also tell us it has a bit of a spicy aftertaste.
Appreciated by connoisseurs, Coffee Flower honey is 100% natural. Bees gather coffee flowers under the high foliage, sunny slopes of the highlands. Sweet and delicious, Coffee Flower honey exhales perfume of Jasmine, and citrus flavors with a subtle fragrance of wild flowers.

MINT HONEY
Mint is a nectar producing plant with over 30 species and hybrids. Probably one of the best known herbs, it grows wild around the world and is widely cultivated. It is a member of the nectar-producing (melliferous) Lamiaceae family that include basil, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme and lavender, many of which produce excellent single flower honey.

Mint honey is a rare treat. It has a strong flavor and distinctive aroma which varies depending upon the variety of mint it was made from. It is a common wild flower and is often a contributor to wild flower honey, but seldom in quantities sufficient to make a single flower honey.
Fortunately, mint is cultivated for its essential oil and these large fields of mint make the monofloral variety of honey much easier to find.
Mint is generally known for its slightly sweet taste and the cool sensation it leaves in your mouth. It has been used for thousands of years as a culinary herb and for its aromatic and therapeutic properties.

Mint honey is a rare find these days in spite of the fact that mint it is widely cultivated. It has one of the most powerful aromas of all the mints. Surprisingly, the honey does not taste like what you might expect. In fact, it has a strong sweet but menthol flavor, but it surprisingly good. It is medium sweet with a lingering after taste. It is a green colored in liquid form.
Our bee farms in Vietnam are located in the high mountains where Mint flowers grow wildly, about 2,000m above sea level.
The flowers blossom in October to January only in freezing cold weather. When almost all kinds of fruit trees and crops cannot grow, the Rocky Mountains are covered with purple mint blossoms.

Our beekeepers have experience to keep honey in safe places out of the winter wind in the high mountain. Our harvest season is from November to December in the high mountains, and in October in the lower mountains. We have large bee colonies and we relocate our beehives close to flower resources in order to get excellent quality pure honey.
