Lehua Honey

Lehua honey comes from the blossoms of the ʻōhiʻa lehua, a tree endemic to Hawaiʻi that grows through the islands' native forests, including on old lava flows. It is a light honey that crystallizes to a smooth, pale, spreadable texture, and producers describe a delicate, sweet floral flavor; it is a common choice for tea because it does not overpower it. The buy link goes to Moonbow Wai Meli's Lehua Blossom raw honey, a 5 oz jar from the farm's hives in Paʻauilo Mauka on Hawaiʻi Island, which the beekeepers describe as elegant and sweet with occasional hints of buttered popcorn.
