AROMA | A dry, woody aroma of hessian coffee sacks, leather, suede boots and black
pepper.

FLAVOUR | A Jaffa, chocolate orange flavour leads along with hints of rosewater. There’s a juicy, syrupy burst throughout with flavours of golden syrup and canned pineapple juice that results in a sparkling, refreshing finish.

SUMMARY | The aroma and flavour of this honey are so different, giving it a delightful complexity. A dry, dark aroma leaves you unprepared for the sparkling, bright, syrupy flavours of Jaffa, rosewater, golden syrup and canned pineapple juice. A honey filled with sunshine flavours.

PAIRING IDEAS | It’s similarity to the sauce you get on a banana fritter in a Chinese or Thai restaurant means I’m leaning toward recommending it in a similar way. This would be a perfect complement to drizzle over naturally caramelised barbequed fruit like pineapple
or banana. Similarly, the refreshing flavour profile would be a great sweetener for iced teas. A honey that reminds me of summer.
