Savannah Bee Company is a store that sells all different types of honey in Westside Provisions District in Atlanta, GA. My friends and I walked into the store and found an adorable display of various types of honey that you could sample. We all quickly grabbed spoons and tasted each one. Some were definitely better than others, but here's what we thought of each.
Tupelo Honey
This seemed to be the most popular one amongst my friends. It was very sweet and fruity, even sweeter than honey usually is.
Honey For The Grill
This honey was smoky, not as sweet, and definitely felt thicker. This one is more for carmelizing meats than eating it plain, so I would not recommend this one.
Honey For Cheese
I really did not like this one, and I thought that I would. It claims to have tart apple flavoring, but to me, it tasted more like chlorine.
Orange Blossom Honey
You could probably guess exactly what this tasted like. What usually would have been regular honey had a unique orange taste mixed in with it. I don't usually like oranges, but this tasted surprisingly good.
Palmetto Honey
This honey had a smoky taste. The bottle says it's perfect for sweet tea and meats, so I don't see myself encountering this type of honey again anytime soon.
Rosemary Honey
This had a much stronger flavor than the others. It tasted herbal, sort of like grass. It was odd to eat because it didn't taste anything like food should.
Acacia Honey
This tasted like your average honey. It seemed to be the most classic, so I was surprised people liked the Tupelo better. This was definitely my favorite, and I would recommend it if you like classic, very sweet honey.
Black Sage Honey
This tasted very similar to the Acacia honey. I would never have known the difference between the two if I didn't read the bottle.
Wildflower
I'm not sure how honey could taste spicy, but this did. It burned in the back of my throat afterward. The flavor comes from the Georgia wildflower blossoms, and it was super distinct and strong.
Lavender Honey
When I think of things that are lavender flavored, I usually think of soap or a spa. I tend to not like lavender-flavored foods for this reason, but this honey did not have an overbearing lavender taste, and I liked it a lot.
Sourwood Honey
This one tasted, well, sour. I'm not so sure how honey could have a tart taste, but it did. It was a weird sensation because I was not expecting the honey to taste like that.
Trying all of these different types of honey was definitely a weird experience. This is not a common food that I find myself eating often, but I figured it would be cool to try some. The funky flavors were interesting, but I think this confirmed that I would prefer to stick to more basic honey. You can never go wrong with the classics.
