As Sweet As Tupelo Honey

As sweet as Tupelo Honey

Tupelo Honey (one of the rarest honeys in the world due to the short bloom season) is like no other. Buttery and floral; it's almost as if you can taste the Tupelo flower. Van Morrison may have helped introduce people to Tupelo Honey, but it is most famous for it's delicious taste.

Hailing from Apalachicola, the Tupelo Tree, which only grows in the swamps of Northwest Florida, blooms every April for 1-3 weeks tops.

Bear Hug Tidbit: Tupelo Honey is one of the very few honeys that never crystallizes. This is due to the higher fructose to glucose / sucrose content of the nectar of the Tupelo Flower.

100% Pure Raw Honey




As Sweet As Tupelo Honey ~ Van Morrison

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
You know she's alright, oh she's alright with me
You know, you know, you know she's alright, she alright with me
You know, you know, you know you know
You know she's alright, alright with me
She's alright, she's alright
She's alright with me
She's alright
She's alright with me
She's alright
She's alright with me
She's al, she's alright, she's alright
She's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright, she's alright, she's alright
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around all these seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey, yes she is
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, from the bee
She's alright, she's alright with me
She's my baby, you know she's alright
She's my baby, she's my baby, she's alright
She's my baby
