Savannah Bee's Tupelo honey is the Queen of the honey world, the 'Golden Standard' of the sweetest liquid gold in the South. Harvested over two or three weeks in the early Spring, Tupelo nectar is one of the rarest and most valuable liquid resources in the world. After being concentrated by the workers, the nectar is transformed into a delicacy whose combination of strength, subtlety, and sweetness is almost impossible to describe.

Tupelo is like a thick, slow-moving river of liquid sunshine. Tupelo's flavors arrive as a series of distinct impressions, a parade of melon, creme brulee, butter, dried pear, and a hint of wet stones. Underneath it all is an unmistakable herbaceous note, the barest hint of Southern Moss. The finish is long, lasting more than a minute before fading away entirely.

The Tupelo honey comes in a beautiful flute, containing 20 ounces.
