About this Honey
Sourced from the iconic orange blooms of the California state flower. While poppies are pollen-rich and nectar-poor, in good years they contribute to a unique honey. It is amber-colored with a distinct floral aroma and a flavor that is slightly herbal and fruity. It is a regional novelty that captures the essence of the West Coast spring.
