    Description

    The Ohi‘a-Lehua Honey is a smooth, white honey that is thick and creamy. It is most distinguished for its texture, which is creamy and yet slightly crystallized. The flavor is sweet, but not overpowering. The taste could be described as floral.  This is a mono-floral honey.  If you enjoy the Ohi‘a-Lehua Honey flavor, you may also enjoy the
    Naalehu Honey
    that the bees collect with Monkey Pod and Kiawe nectar.
    The ‘Ohi‘a Lehua can be found throughout the Hawaiian Island but is most abundant on the Big Islands. Lehua is the island’s official flower.  The scientific name for the plant is
    Metrosideros polymorpha guad
    , belonging to the Myrtle family
    Ohi‘a is often the first plant to grow on new lava fields and blooms from December to July. The flavor of the Lehua honey is very floral and uniquely sweet.  The color of the honey ranges from white to a light amber, depending on the region of the island its collected.
