taste

Coastal Wildflower Honey is typically sweet, with a stronger flavour and delightful aroma. At certain times of the year, depending on the rainfall and the variety, this honey may taste stronger, with a pronounced tangy finish. Delicious and one of our favourites!

taste suggestions

Coastal Wild Flower is good with, on or in just about anything! Great on Raisin Toast, superb melted in to Crumpets with heaps of butter, and beautiful drizzled over Brie Cheese . Why not try this one with freshly made Peanut Butter on fresh home made bread? Yum!

time since last harvest

A two year gap separates this Batch from the last time we harvested honey in these forests.

harvest weather conditions

Coastal Wild Flower Honey is typically collected during the sub tropical autumn/winter months, when the weather is warm and sunny, and the air is dry. Although the weather didn't stay to form when this honey was produced, and autumn was unusually warm and moist......it certainly hasn't hurt the flavour!

tree names

The predominant nectar's gathered to produce this delicious honey, were from numerous wild flowers, along with Rose Gums, Tea Trees, Paper Barks, Manuka's and Bloodwoods. Rose Gums, also know as "Flooded Gums, like growing in the damp soil along the creeks and gully's. Tea Trees also known as "Paper Barks," also like wet feet, and mostly grow in low lying areas. Manukas grow in the under growth on the forest floor and Bloodwoods stand straight and tall along the ridges.

flowering period

The flowering period ran through most of autumn from late February to April. Unusually warm weather and afternoon showers considerably slowed the nector flows.
