National Honey Bee Day
SWEETEN YOUR SUMMER WITH THE SPICE & TEA EXCHANGE®
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (July 24, 2024) – Known as the nectar of the gods, honey bees have been making honey for over 150 million years, and we humans have been enjoying it for the past 10,000 years. Honey bees are responsible for a third of the food we eat, pollinating 80 percent of all flowering plants, including hundreds of fruits and vegetables, coffee, chocolate, nuts, and spices. To celebrate these remarkable creatures, August 17th has been deemed National Honey Bee Day — and The Spice & Tea Exchange® has a plethora of products to honor the insects who make spice and teas even possible and who sweeten our everyday lives.
Raw honey comes in over 300 different varieties, and is a delectable golden nectar that’s truly magical. Loaded with antioxidants and healthy enzymes, honey has been proven to be anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. At The Spice & Tea Exchange®, there is a versatile selection of delicious 100% pure raw natural honeys to choose from, for drizzling on a snack, sweetening tea, or enjoying straight from the spoon. These light and bright honeys are a great way to support the planet and promote your own personal wellness. Try Wildflower Honey, offering a full-bodied flavor that's as complex and delightful as the sun-drenched field from which it's harvested. Unique honey infusions made exclusively for The Spice & Tea Exchange® include Vanilla Honey, with spectacular flavor and endless uses; Himalayan Salted Honey, a wonderful cheese board addition; Arbol Chile Honey, the perfect blend of sweet heat; Citrus Whipped Honey Trio, with tart citrus infusions of grapefruit, key lime, and blood orange; and more! Earl Grey Whipped Honey is oh-so-perfect with Earl Grey Creme Tea. And Elderberry Whipped Honey, mixed with Elderberry Fortress Herbal Tea, creates a rich immune-supporting blend. Honey straws are an especially fun treat, portable and perfect for snacking or a quick energy boost. Flavors come in Blackberry Blossom, Bourbon, Lemon, and Orange Blossom.
Honey is a great cooking companion, and Granulated Honey is even more so. Easy to measure, pour, and store, granulated honey is a great way to imbue honey flavor, especially in marinades and sauces. Like for mouth-watering Sweet Compound Butters, granulated honey joins flavors like Chai and Cocoa for a sweet and savory treat. The Honeyed Pineapple Relish adds fresh flavor to any summer barbecue. And Sprouts In Paradise gives roasted brussels a peppery kick with a tangy and sweet twist. Find honeyed recipes at The Spice & Tea Exchange®’s online shop, or venture into one of their 90 plus stores to pick up herbs, spices, honeys, and teas to make your summer one of the sweetest yet.
