Honey for tea subscription (save up to 40%)

We will select a British raw honey from one of our beekeepers which would be  ‘Good in tea’. The honey we send you will be perfect for sweetening a hot drink or even in cooking as a sugar substitute. You can save up to 40% by buying your honey as a subscription

To be a good pairing with tea we choose honeys that:

• are naturally sweeter than others
• have a flavour that won’t dominate, but instead compliments.

Raw honey makes a good natural sweetener as it is twice as effective as refined sugar, so you can half the amount you use and get the same level of sweetness.

Every one of our honeys come from UK small-scale beekeepers who all have high standards of care for their bees and environment. 

Our raw British honeys will come by Royal Mail in one of our boxes, packed in Yorkshire hay, no plastic, all recyclable and UK-made as treading lightly on the planet matters. On the side of each honey we write:

• the name of the beekeeper
• the type of place they keep their bees in, from garden to hedgerow
• where in the UK they're based
• how many jars of that particular honey the bees made

We also pop the story of the beekeepers in for you!

• Limited edition British raw  honeys from small scale beekeepers
• Size of jars: 224g / 8oz
• Delivery: Every 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 months, you choose
• Number of jars each delivery: 1, 2, 3 or 4 you choose 
• FREE POSTAGE and the story of the beekeepers in every box

PROVENANCE:

We know exactly where each honey as come from as we meet every beekeeper to chat and visit the bees and landscapes that make each honey. On each label we write:

• the beekeeper’s name
• where the hives are that made the honey
• how many jars of the honey have been produced

Our beekeepers are very proud of that they and their bees have achieved, and so are we – which is why we enjoy making them the star of the show!

SUSTAINABILITY:

Our Beekeepers

We work with small scale British beekeepers who we visit to talk bees with and see the bees and landscapes that make each honey.

All of our beekeepers…

• are good custodians of their bees and the woodlands, meadows, gardens and fields they keep them in.
• talk to local farmers, landowners, fellow allotment owners and councils to encourage planting for pollinators, sustainable woodland management and protecting the natural landscape for their bees.

Our aim is to bring you special limited edition honeys from more and more British beekeepers: as long as they're good custodians of their bees of course!

Our Packaging

Our jars and labels are all British sourced to keep our transport miles and carbon footprint low. The labels can easily peel off the jars once you’ve finished so you can re-use the jar and extend its useful life. 

Our honeys are safely packed in Yorkshire hay and British sourced cardboard boxes, Opening the box is a treat with the sweet smell of summer and our honeys nestling inside.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We’ll do all we can to send you as wide a variety of honey as possible. This usually means it’s rare to get the same honey delivered to you more than twice over the course of a year. However it can happen, especially if the honey harvest is poor due to the weather. We will never take honey that the bees need, so it has been know that we suffer instead and have had to send out the last of our limited edition honeys to people who had already had them. Not a major hardship as they’re delicious but important to say!
