Tea & Honey Pairing 3 of 3

Our final pairing from our tasting with brings together two wonderfully fruity flavours 🍓

Blend No. 3, a caffeine-free herbal infusion built around raspberry leaf and tropical notes, pairs beautifully with our Cranachan Honey, inspired by Scotland’s famous dessert.

The raspberry notes in the tea and honey complement each other perfectly, while the subtle whisky flavour adds warmth and depth.

Ever noticed those little yellow “pollen pants” on a bee? 🌼

That’s pollen, their main source of protein, precisely collected, brushed down, and packed onto their hind legs before being carried back to the hive.

Inside, it’s stored, mixed with enzymes, and turned into nutrient-rich bee bread to feed the colony.

A tiny process, but one that keeps everything going.

It is rarely the obvious things that harm bees. It is the small, everyday habits most of us do without thinking.

Cutting everything back too early, choosing certain flowers, keeping things a bit too tidy. It all adds up more than you would expect.

The tricky part is that a lot of it feels like the right thing to do.

With a few small changes, your garden can go from simply looking good to actually supporting pollinators in a meaningful way.

Nothing drastic. Just a bit more awareness of what really helps 🌸🐝

Have a scroll through before your next garden day 🌼

Which one surprised you the most?

Most of what keeps this planet alive happens quietly, out of sight. 🐝
Bees have been doing it for 30 million years — not for the honey, but because every flower they visit completes a cycle that holds entire ecosystems together. Our food, our wildflowers, our landscapes. All of it.
That system is under real pressure right now. And this Earth Day, we just wanted to say:
We noticed. We're grateful. We're trying.
Happy Earth Day 🌱🌍

Tea & Honey Pairing 2 of 3

We're sure you'll love this one! 🥰

A real fan favourite, Blue Lady by is a lovely alternative to Earl Grey, infusing subtle rose with tangy grapefruit. It's handcrafted from the finest Chinese black tea, mallow flowers and calendula petals, and pairs so well with our refreshing Linden honey!

A lovely combination when you want something uplifting.

Both Pekoe Tea blends and our honeys are now available in our stores, making it easy to try this pairing at home.

Stay tuned for our last honey pairing next week! 🍵🍯
