Timber Creek Bees · Greenville, Texas
Before you order.
What raw means, how cold infusions work, and how a jar gets to you.
What does raw mean here?
Raw honey is the staple sweet nectar, bottled in Greenville by Timber Creek Bees. It is never flash-heated or pressure-filtered. After harvest we separate it by weight. Light Amber is the lighter, floral jar. Dark Amber is the heavier, malty jar. Nothing else goes in.
It is honey that is more than sweet, and better than sugar (in our opinion).
What is cold-infused honey?
A cold infusion starts with that same raw honey. Whole lavender, cinnamon, ginger, or turmeric rest in the jar for months. We do not warm it to hurry the flavor.
Cold infusions use natural enzymes already in the honey, mixed with fresh fruits and warm spices to enrich the tasting notes with bold custom flavors. The enzymes are already at work in raw honey. Left with the fruit and spice, they draw those tasting notes into the nectar over months. Check out our selection.
Where does it come from?
Drip of Honey is bottled in Greenville, Texas by Timber Creek Bees. Raw jars are separated by weight after harvest. Cold infusions are that honey, given months with whole fruit and spice. Floral character follows the season, which is why Light Amber and Dark Amber do not taste the same.
Is this honey organic?
Yes. It is organic honey.
What is the difference between raw and infused?
Raw honey is just the honey, separated by weight after harvest. Light Amber and Dark Amber are that split: the same harvest, two bodies, two tasting notes. No fruit. No spice. The jar is the nectar.
Cold infusions take months of development. Whole lavender, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric rest in that raw honey so the natural enzymatic process can extract their flavors. Enzymes already in the honey break down and carry the character of the fruit and spice into the nectar, slowly, without harsh industrial processing that ruins the microbiotic profile. That is why an infused jar tastes of the botanical, and still tastes of honey.
Will raw honey crystallize?
Yes, and it should. Honey is a dense mix of sugars, mostly glucose and fructose, in very little water. Over time the glucose comes out of solution and forms crystals. Cooler shelves speed that up. It is not spoiled. It is raw honey behaving like raw honey.
To bring it back to liquid:
- Leave the lid on.
- Set the jar in a bowl of warm water. Not boiling. Warm enough that you can hold a finger in it.
- Wait until the honey at the edges begins to loosen.
- Stir from the bottom, then set it back in the water.
- If crystals remain, refresh the warm water and wait again. Repeat until it runs.
Do not put the jar on a burner or blast it in a microwave. Heat that cooks the honey also stills the enzymes that give a cold infusion its flavor.
How should I store it?
Lid tight. Cool. Dry. Out of the sun. A cupboard is better than a windowsill, because light and heat push the honey toward a cooked taste and toward faster crystallization. Follow anything printed on the label.
What packs can I get?
Every honey is sold by the jar in packs of 1, 3, or 6. Choose the pack on the product page so you are buying the amount you will actually use, not a weight SKU we do not sell.
Where do you ship?
We ship anywhere in the United States. Shipping is a flat $6, and it’s free on orders of $60 or more — which includes every three-jar and six-jar box. Express is $20 if you need it sooner.
When does free shipping kick in?
At $60. Every three-jar and six-jar box is over that line, so they ship free. A single jar is $24 plus $6 shipping.
Can infants have honey?
No. Do not feed honey to children younger than 12 months. That is a food-safety rule for all honey, raw or infused, not a comment on this jar in particular.
