At first glance, you might mistake it for coffee. Hédène harvests this Buckwheat Honey in the heart of the Orléans forest, where buckwheat blossoms from mid-June to early September and the harvest takes place from late August to early September. Deep brown and creamy, this monofloral honey offers delicate aromas of undergrowth and warm overtones of café gourmand, without any bitterness, and a long, satisfying finish. Spread it on buckwheat crêpes, or pair it with a blue cheese or a Comté.

Recipe idea

Spiced Buckwheat Honey Coffee

Serves 2 · 10 min

Brew 1 cup (250 ml) of strong coffee.
Warm 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk with a pinch of cinnamon and froth it.
Stir 2 tsp of buckwheat honey into the hot coffee until dissolved.
Divide between two cups, top with the spiced milk foam and serve; the honey’s café gourmand notes suit coffee perfectly.
