In the Grinder - Our Daily Coffee Weblog

Today we tasted some single source honeys from Minnesota's own Ames Farm. We tasted 5 honeys collected over one specific time period, from one unique geographical location and from one single hive. These honeys are raw and unfiltered. We were amazed at the complexity of flavor and strong sense of "terrior" these honeys possessed. The standout today was definately the 2006 Creamed Basswood honey from Hive 110A at Pioneer Creek. This honey was delicate and floral with a creamy, buttery body and a delicious minty aftertaste.

Each bottle comes labeled with the main contributing flower and specific hive the honey was collected from. You can enter this number into a searchable database at Ames Farm's website to find out specific tasting notes and harvest and processing dates for the honey.
