Get a bottle of our new Zambian Honey Traditional Mead and a jar of the Organic Zambian Forest Honey used to make it!
Zambian Honey Traditional Mead 14.5% 700ml
Brewed to the same recipe as our award winning Traditional Mead but using Organic Zambian Forest honey instead of honey from the Wye Valley. The dark forest honey has given the drink a distinct amber colour and a flavour profile with complex herbal and spiced notes.
This special edition Mead has been brewed in collaboration with charity Bees For Development. Bees for Development works globally to promote sustainable beekeeping to combat poverty, build resilient livelihoods and benefit biodiversity. The charity uses honey bees to enable people to make a living through working with nature, harvesting honey and beeswax, while helping to preserve biodiversity.
As well as supporting beekeepers in Zambia by purchasing the honey, ten percent of profits from sales of the new mead will be donated to Bees for Development by Hive Mind.
Wainwrights Organic Zambian Forest Honey 380g
Wainwrights have been working with beekeepers from Zambia since 1983. In that time not much has changed with how this honey is collected. Bark hives are still hung from trees, keeping them safe from the local wildlife. They are occupied by wild swarms which fill the combs with rich aromatic honey completely unique to any honey that is collected in the UK. The only change these hives have been through is now there are more hives and bees to populate them thanks to the next generation taking up the mantle of keeping bees. Thus ensuring the continued growth and vitality of the forest.
