Bohman Bee Company's Tupelo honey comes from the nectar of the white Ogeechee tupelo (Nyssa ogeche) tree, which grows in the swamps and riverbanks of the southeastern United States, particularly in Florida and Georgia. It's a rare honey due to the specific location and the short blooming season of the tupelo trees, which lasts only about 3 weeks.
- Flavor: Tupelo honey is known for its mild, buttery, and floral flavor, with notes of citrus and a hint of vanilla. Some describe it as having hints of rosewater or cotton candy.
- Texture: It has a smooth, velvety texture that is prized for its non-crystallizing nature, thanks to its high fructose content.
