French honey: terroir honeys, fruit honeys and honey sweets
Honey has always gone hand in hand with tea: a single spoonful is enough to round out a cup of black tea, to scent a herbal infusion or to draw out an afternoon tea. La Boutique du Thé has selected the honeys of Les Abeilles de Malescot, a family beekeeping farm in Bouglon, Lot-et-Garonne, run by a family of brothers and sisters who are beekeepers. The range brings together French terroir honeys (acacia and chestnut from the Pyrenees, organic lavender from the South of France, organic mountain honey from Haute-Corrèze, organic wildflower from Nouvelle-Aquitaine), fruit honeys slowly blended with real fruit, infused gourmet honeys (orange blossom, Christmas spices, matcha) and honey sweets made on the farm. For each honey, our product pages indicate the tea that suits it best.
Frequently asked questions
Which honey should I choose to sweeten tea?
A mild, subtle honey such as acacia for green and white teas; a more distinctive honey (chestnut, mountain) for full-bodied or smoked black teas.
Why does honey crystallise?
It is a natural phenomenon linked to its glucose content; it does not alter the taste, and a gentle bain-marie restores the honey's fluidity.
Can honey be added to boiling tea?
It is best to let the cup cool for a few moments: very hot water dulls the honey's most delicate aromas.
Is honey suitable for young children?
No, honey is not recommended for children under one year old.
