Once one starts to appreciate their characteristics and nuances, honey will never seem the same again. From the monofloral - from bees that gather nectar only from one type of plant – to polyfloral varieties that are a culmination of from a diverse flora which produce more complex flavours, Fortnum & Mason’s offer it all.
Exclusively available at Lane Crawford is The Beemaster Hamper. Buzzing with a delightful array of all things honey, the beautifully presented wicker hamper contains a selection of honeys to pique the interest of the novice, tea and biscuits to complement the aromatic varieties and a handy copy of Fortnum’s Honey & Preserves book full of recipes and insights into the magical sweetener.
