The most popular Hawaiian honey, Lehua honey has a delicate, distinct flavor and spreadable texture. Found only in Hawaii, the Lehua blossom produces a white, smoothly crystallized honey. Perfect for sweetening beverages, cooking or simply scooping directly out of the jar. A favorite of tea drinkers because it doesnt overwhelm the taste of the tea. The Ohia Lehua tree and blossom are rooted in Hawaiian legend of love and fidelity. Picking the blossom is said to cause rain, representing the tears shed by princess Lehua as a result of being separated from her lover, Ohia. A perfect gift for Valentines Day. Big Island Bees Lehua honey is certified organic and raw, produced without the use of artificial feeds, chemical miticides, heat, or filtration.
