Notes from the family at Moon Shine Trading Co:

Orange Blossom: "With a gorgeous aroma and bouquet, this honey’s taste is true to the scent of its blossoms,  playing with notes of jasmine on a summer’s evening. Golden light shimmers through this translucent honey like California sunshine as it’s drizzled onto toast, into tea or used in a favorite family recipe."

Orange Blossom honey complements any tea beautifully and is a beautiful addition to Garden Grey and Blends such as Upper South and Iowa Sunset. It also enhances green and white teas.

Star thistle: "With a candy-like flavor and undertones of crème brulée, Yellow Star Thistle Honey comes from summertime bloom of small fuzzy flowers that cover the fields of Northern California. Though the plant is considered a weed, Yellow Star Thistle honey is astonishing. This honey was named the “Champagne of honeys” by the staff at Food and Wine magazine and received praise from Saveur magazine, who declared it one of America’s finest honeys. 

Beekeepers who understand the value of Star thistle honey, vie for hive locations near the densest stands of bountiful brilliant yellow blossoms. The light, candy-sweet flavor highlights subtle tones of banana and crème brulée. Wonderful for baking, it adds to the subtle flavors of cakes, cookies, and other pastries." 

Pair Star Thistle honey with blends such as Mint Meadows, Mint Meadows green and Berry Well.

Meadowfoam: 

"This honey smells like s’mores! Northwest Meadowfoam Honey is quickly becoming a household favorite, thanks to its radically unique flavor and aroma profile of both cupcakes baking and marshmallows toasting. Hints of vanilla toffee ride out a smooth and lingering finish. With all of this flavor and complexity, our Meadowfoam Honey is prized by chefs, brewers, mead-makers, and honey enthusiasts worldwide. Cultivated in central Oregon, and native to California, this flower’s white and yellow blossoms cover the coastal valleys, foothills, and mountains with a creamy, floral foam. We are crazy about this honey, but don’t just take our word for it — Sunset Magazine rated our Northwestern Meadowfoam honey Number 1 in their ‘Top 5 West Coast Honeys’ list."

Choose Meadowfoam honey for spiced teas or those with a chocolate note such as Northside Chai, Blackbird, Morning Hawk, Starry Night, or Rosin and Roses.

Do not feed honey to babies under 1 year of age.
