About this Honey
Produced from the Hairy Vetch or Purple Vetch plant, often used as a cover crop in the Northern U.S. and Canada. This honey is very light, almost clear, and is extremely slow to crystallize. It is known for its mild, delicate floral taste that is smoother and less "spicy" than clover, making it an elegant choice for sweetening delicate teas.
