About this Honey
Native to the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Alaska, harvested in late summer. The plant is a "pioneer species" that grows aggressively in burned-over areas. The honey is known as the "Champagne of Honeys" for its water-white color, smooth texture, and delicate, tea-like flavor. It is a premium varietal that is increasingly rare due to habitat changes.
