Where it blooms
A year on one hillside
Our hives follow six blooms around the hill. Choose one on the map or the calendar to see when it flowers, what its honey is like, and which jars it filled.
Mar – Apr
Coffee blossom
Ten days of white, jasmine-scented flowers across the estates after the first March shower. A light, floral honey that stays liquid for months.
Jars from this bloom
Feb – Mar
Pongamia
The honge trees along the estate road flower lilac at the end of winter. Amber, round and gently nutty.
Jars from this bloom
Apr – Jun
Jamun
Jamun trees line the paddy edges down in the valley. Their honey is dark, a little tart and almost spicy.
Jars from this bloom
Jun – Aug
Cardamom
Cardamom flowers low in the shade all through the monsoon, when little else does. A warm, mellow honey with a long finish.
Jars from this bloom
Sep – Oct
Karvi
Karvi flowers all together only once in several years and turns the far slopes blue. Its honey is pale, thick and quick to set.
Jars from this bloom
Nov – Jan
Shola forest
In the forest above the estates a hundred kinds of tree flower in turn. A deep, woody multiflora with a hint of smoke.
Jars from this bloom
From hive to jar
Four slow steps
Nothing is heated, blended or rushed. A jar takes as long as its flower does.
Follow the bloom
Hives are carried to the flowers at night, a week before they open, so the bees wake up beside them.
Let them forage
The bees work one bloom for two or three weeks. We open the boxes only to check that the colony is well.
Wait for the caps
We take a frame only once the bees have sealed it with wax — that is how they tell us the honey is ready.
Spin it cold
Frames are uncapped by hand, spun in a hand-cranked extractor, strained once through cloth and jarred the same week.
Kept the slow way
Visit the honey house
Come and taste all six
The honey house is open for tastings at the edge of the estate. Write to us for gifting, honey for a café or restaurant, or to ask when a bloom is coming in.
