Yaupon Holly

Hive Location: Central Texas

Good Pairings: tea, corn bread, plain yogurt & berries; and also great with just a few drops over some sliced fresh fruit (like apples or cantaloupe)

Description: One of the finest woodland honeys on earth! Yaupon Holly Honey has a light capturing color and a strong rich flavor. The honey bees flourish in the the nectar from a small white flower that blooms on the Yaupon Holly Tree in the Spring. The tree itself produces beautiful round shiny red berries and its caffeine-rich dried leaves can be used to make a dark tea. The honey, however, is caffeine free and, ironically, is a perfect complement to your dark teas!

Muth Jars: The Muth Jar is a 19th Century Classic developed by Charles Muth (pronounced Moot) in Cincinnati, Ohio who developed the jar specifically for liquid honey. These heavy glass jars are full of history, make great displays or can be refilled! These jars are classically corked and can usually be opened with a little inward pressure and a twist. On the first open, sometimes a corkscrew is helpful but for normal use the jars are meant to be "lightly corked" and easily removed for easy access to your honey!

Gift Baskets: These jars make excellent gifts for people with an appreciate for honey, history and quality craftsmanship. The best way to gift them is in our hand made and are best gifted in our Honey Gift Baskets.

For Lawyers and those who hire them: DO NOT FEED honey to children under 1 year of age
