The flavours are deep and long lasting." "There is a perceptible coffee note here, which we weren't necessarily expecting, but it has a pleasant, almost savoury, certainly mineral presence.  It balances the sweetness well." Read on for more details about the origin, taste and uses of this crystallised honey. Origin Indigenous tribes in Mexico have been farming coffee for hundreds of years.  Today, Mexico produces some of the world's finest organic coffee. But the best organic coffee in Mexico is grown in the beautiful mountain highlands of Chiapas state in southern Mexico, which lie 1000-1500m above sea level. The indigenous tribes of Chiapas manage 1500 independent coffee plantations as the main source of their livelihood. The Coffea arabica plant is native to the mountains of Yemen. It was the first species of coffee to be cultivated.   Coffee honey with a 16% coffea pollen count is considered good coffee honey. This honey has a coffea pollen count of 40%, which means that it is exceptional. Taste Tasting notes: Vanilla and molasses with a light chocolate coffee (mocha) aftertasteTexture: crystallised (sets quickly due to the high pollen content)Aroma: dark chocolateSweetness: sweet   Uses In accordance with EU directive 1924/2006 we are unable to make any health claim about any of our honeys. The information given below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes, or anecdotal based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred from the plant properties that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or provides the same benefits as the plant.” This honey has a lab certified antibacterial Total Activity rating of 20.5. This means that it is equal to a 20.5% antibacterial solution. It can be consumed like any other honey or applied on the skin in small amounts. A 2016 study by Sao Paolo State University in Brazil found that coffee bean honey contained: - High levels of Vitamin C (29.5mg / 100g), the same as grapefruit. - More potassium (96mg / 100g)  than bananas.. - More calcium (34mg / 100g) than cauliflower. A 2015 study by Chiang Mai University in Thailand found that coffee bean honey contained: - A higher antibacterial content than other honeys - A higher flavonoid content than every other honey, including manuka  - The highest anti-tyrosinase activity among 16 other honeys. Tyrosinase inflames the skin and causes pigmentation issues.  This honey can be used like ordinary honey but is best taken as a half teaspoon of this honey mixed into a glass of cool or warm (not hot) water and drunk three times a day on an empty stomach.

It is the lifeblood of the world’s largest ecosystem that spans about two-fifths of the South American continent. More than half all the plant species on the plant are found in the Amazon jungle. It is known as the lungs of the planet due to the amount of oxygen it releases into the atmosphere. To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 427 mammals (e.g. jaguar, anteater and giant otter), 1,300 birds (e.g. harpy eagle and toucan), 378 reptiles (e.g. anaconda), more than 400 amphibians (e.g. dart poison frog) and around 3,000 freshwater fishes including the piranha have been found in the Amazon.

The information given below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes, or anecdotal based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred from the plant properties that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or provides the same benefits as the plant. The pink Mimosa silk tree has been used medicinally by Mayan civilisations for over 1000 years to relieve a wide range of conditions and ailments. The pink Mimosa silk tree has been used in Chinese remedies for nearly 2000 years as a natural calming herb. It is known as the "tree of happiness" or the "happiness herb." There is scientific research based support for the use of the Mimosa tree to relieve worry, stress and sleep issues. [See Jung JW et al. Effect of chronic Albizzia julibrissin treatment on 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptors in rat brain. Pharmacol Biochem Behav . 2005;81(1):205-210.] In fact, a pharmacoepidemiologic study in Taiwan in 2002 found that the Mimosa tree was the third most commonly prescribed Chinese herbal remedy for treating sleep problems.

The sweetness is rather low level but that is a good thing to allow the deep, long lasting floral flavour to really come through." Read on for more details about the origin, taste and uses of this honey. Origin The first oranges were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers in the 16th century. Today, the tropical state of Veracruz on the Atlantic coast of Mexico produces over half of all Mexico's oranges. This honey is produced from bees feeding on the organic orange plantations of Veracruz, Mexico. The orange tree (scientific name Citrus sinensis) is an evergreen flowering tree which grows to a height of 9-10m. It has oval leaves 4-10cm long. Orange blossom honey with a pollen count of 40% is considered exceptional. This honey comes from the best orange blossom honey crop in Mexico since 2008. It has a pollen count of an incredible 57%! Taste Tasting notes: Citrus, fruity with a rich orange flavourTexture: Set with fine crystalsAroma: Aromatic, of soft citrusSweetness: light This honey tastes delicious straight from the spoon, over toast or porridge, or with good quality yoghurt, fresh cream or ice-cream. It can be used in cooking just like orange blossom water, or where a citrus aroma is required. Uses In accordance with EU directive 1924/2006 we are unable to make any health claim about any of our honeys. The information given below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes, or anecdotal based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred from the plant properties that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or provides the same benefits as the plant. This honey has a laboratory certified antibacterial Total Activity rating of 10. This means that it is equal to a 10% antibacterial solution. It can be consumed like any other honey or applied on the skin in small amounts. A 2011 study by the University of Queretaro, Mexico, studied the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of 14 different Mexican honeys. It found that: - Orange blossom honey had the highest phenolic (antioxidant) capacity of all 14 honeys. - When tested against food poisoning bacteria strains Listeria, Straph A and Salmonella, orange blossom honey was found to be the most effective among the 14 honeys tested.   Oranges also contain bergapten, which promotes colour and pigmentation in the skin, to avoid it becoming damaged by sunlight. 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 three times a day on an empty stomach.
