Description

Tupelo honey is the "gold standard" by which all other honeys are measured. Harvested in Georgia over two or three weeks in the early Spring, Tupelo nectar is one of the rarest and most valuable liquid resources in the world.

After being concentrated by the worker bees, the nectar is transformed into a delicacy whose combination of strength, subtlety, and sweetness is almost impossible to describe.

Savannah Bee's Tupelo is like a thick, slow-moving river of liquid sunshine. Pour it into strong black tea, or onto a piece of crisp buttery toast, or over a piece of aged cheddar, you know you're in for something special. Tupelo's flavors arrive as a series of distinct impressions, a parade of melon, creme brule, butter, and dried pear with a long smooth finish.

Tupelo honey is only produced in two tiny regions in the U.S.: The Okefenokee Swamp and the Apalachicola River Basin.

Savannah Bee Company is Ted Dennard's honey brand. He fell for bees as a boy on St. Simons Island, Georgia, when beekeeper Roy Hightower kept hives on his family's land. He later taught beekeeping in Jamaica with the Peace Corps.

Back in Georgia he went after tupelo honey, one of the rarest in the world. He sold his first through a friend's Savannah shop in 1999 and founded the company there in 2002. He sources from beekeepers worldwide, "most of whom I know by name." In 2022 the Specialty Food Association inducted him into its Hall of Fame.

At ModernTribe it's a Rosh Hashanah favorite, from tupelo and acacia honeys to the Tupelo Honey Hand Soap.
