About this Honey
Harvested from the invasive Scotch Broom shrub in the Pacific Northwest. The nectar is dark and produces a honey that is quite strong, sometimes described as bitter or astringent. It is rarely sold as a table honey, but is often used by mead makers for its robust fermentation characteristics.
