About the Pollen

This mono-floral honey is harvested in late June and July in the high hilly areas of the Appalachians. Sourwood is revered by honey enthusiasts from around the world and has won countless awards. Our Sourwood is harvested in northern Georgia, USA and has a dark amber color with an extremely aromatic nose. Wait until the end of your tasting, and you will notice a beautiful marzipan finish.

Sourwood is one of our featured dark honeys, valued not only for its delicious and velvety taste, but also its health benefits.

Sourwood also makes an excellent addition to the traditional Appalachian summer drink: Switchel. A tonic made from honey, apple cider vinegar, ginger, lemon, and water, Switchel is a tasty and healthful alternative to sugary drinks like soda!

Honey Facts

Crystallization is a natural process that happens with most raw honeys over time. Crystallized honey has little sugar crystals in it and therefore feels granular on the palate. We have a few suggestions for what to do if your honey is crystallized and you don't love its new consistency!
If your honey starts to crystallize, you can re-liquify it in a warm water bath (~120°F). Just be careful not to get any water in your honey!
You might also try blending your honey until it turns into a creamy, spreadable consistency perfect for slathering on toast or cheese and crackers!
Learn more about crystalization on our blog!
We use honey simple syrup at our Tea Bar to sweeten drinks. This more liquid version of honey combines easily and thoroughly with both hot and cold drinks and makes a wonderful addition to cocktails and marinades!
Making honey simple syrup is as simple as the name!
Simply take 1 part Sourwood Honey and one part hot water, stir to combine, and store in the refrgerator.
Your honey simple syrup will last in the fridge for up to two weeks.
