Forest Multi-Floral or Tulsi Infused: Picking Your Honey

We stock two honeys, and they are not interchangeable. One is a broad forest harvest; the other is built around tulsi. Knowing which is which saves you from using the interesting one where it will be wasted.

Forest multi-floral

Bees foraging across mixed forest flowering produce a darker, deeper honey whose character shifts a little with each harvest. That variation is the nature of a multi-floral crop, not a defect. It is the one to reach for when honey is doing the heavy lifting: drizzled over curd, stirred into warm water, or spread plainly on bread.

Tulsi infused

Lighter in body with a distinct herbal note running through it. It works best where you want that note to register — in tea, in a morning tonic, or taken on its own by the spoon. Bury it in a heavily spiced dish and you will not taste what you paid for.

On crystallisation

Raw honey sets over time, particularly in cooler months. Granules at the bottom of the jar are a sign it has not been heat-treated into permanent clarity. Stand the jar in warm water for a few minutes and it loosens again. Avoid boiling it.

Both keep well in a sealed jar at room temperature. Use a dry spoon — water introduced into the jar is the main thing that shortens honey’s life.
