Tupelo Honey. Virgin & Slow-Spun. Now in Glass.
For those who prefer their honey in its purest presentation, we offer our award-winning Tupelo Honey in a premium glass jar — the choice of discerning honey lovers who value tradition, clarity, and craftsmanship.
Floral Source & Origin
Every spring, for just a brief moment in time, the white tupelo tree (Nyssa ogechee) blooms along the storied river systems of Apalachicola, Florida, and the Altamaha in Georgia. Greenish-white blossoms hang for no more than a few weeks, and only when the weather is gentle — mild temperatures, soft humidity, and no harsh storms — does the nectar flow at its finest.
Our bees work these riverbank forests with a devotion as old as the South itself. The nectar they gather becomes one of the rarest and most celebrated honeys in the world: true Tupelo.
We harvest only during this narrow window and bottle exclusively from these historic regions. No blending. No shortcuts. Just the purest expression of the bloom.
Flavor Profile
Tupelo honey is famous for its unmistakable taste — a bright, fruity-floral opening that melts into a buttery, velvety finish with no bite and no lingering aftertaste. It is smooth, soft, and wildly aromatic. People often say their first taste feels like a revelation:
“I never knew honey could taste this good.”
Presented in a glass jar, the beauty of Tupelo’s natural golden hue becomes part of the experience. The clarity, the shine, the light dancing through the honey — it all enhances the enjoyment of this extraordinary varietal.
Why Glass?
Glass has long been the preferred choice for those who appreciate honey in its most natural state. It is inert, elegant, recyclable, and allows you to see the true color and purity of your Tupelo Honey. Many customers enjoy keeping their jars for reuse, a small nod to sustainability and craftsmanship.
With glass, nothing touches the honey except time and sunlight — exactly as nature intended.
Slow to Sugar (If Ever)
Thanks to its naturally high fructose-to-glucose ratio, Tupelo Honey is famously slow to crystallize. Some jars stay liquid for years. On rare occasions, trace amounts of nectar gathered from non-tupelo blooms may create light crystallization at the bottom. When this happens, we politely blame the bees for wandering.
Warm gently if you prefer it perfectly clear again — glass makes this especially easy.
