A Hint of Cherry Blossom Season

[Kimilgwon] Natural Cherry Blossom Honey

Korean Beekeepers often state that the most-prized honey is Cherry Blossom Honey!

That's because cherry blossoms - as beautiful as they are - flower for only 4-to-7 days in a year! This leaves a very short opportunity for bees to collect their nectar. Fortunately, the peak blossom happens during March or April - when the weather is warm and consequently, the bees are at their most active state.

Kimilgwon's Honey is made from Wild Cherry Blossoms found in Mt. Jirisan. There, the trees grow freely and out in the open sun - away from pollutants, fertilizers and human interference. 

Typically, extracted honey undergoes a drying process that involves heat - to extend shelf-life. However, this heat degrades the honey and has an adverse effect on its enzymes, color, flavor, and aroma. As such, Kimilgwon's Honey is naturally dried - without heat to retain as much of its natural floral aroma. 

A quick taste of this honey and you'll be surprised it doesn't taste overly sweet. You'll also notice a slight aroma of Cherry Blossom in the after-taste. It's wonderful!

To enjoy - simply scoop into your mouth, close your eyes, and enjoy its natural taste. Or spread it over morning toast... Or even place a few scoops into hot water to make a soothing tea.

Since there is a limited time for harvesting, there is also a limited quantity produced each year. So come, come - and try one out!
