Just the right amount of soul
I'll just start off by saying that this is the honey I've been looking for and will be buying it forever.
I moved and lost my supplier who was a local beekeeper and had the perfect honey on the darker side, without being too bold. This is the seventh bottle/jar of honey to join my kitchen in my quest. That's apparently how particular I've become, which was a shock to both me and my wallet. I tried to deal with sub par or too strong honey, but just couldn't. It's my simple pleasure.
I drink green tea non stop and sweeten it with honey. The tea is quality loose, single source, so it needs a nice honey, a honey with the right amount of soul - if you will.
You can get some Aretha Franklin level soul honeys, but it will completely overpower the lighter flavor of the tea. Same way you can get Jonas Brothers level soul and, while it pleases some people, just ends up tasting plainly sweet.
I wanted, needed, a nice Adele soul level honey. It has body, it has pizazz, it will not be forgotten (and for more than unjustly getting an award over another honey, but I digress). It compliments and is versatile and will suit your daily honey uses.
So I hum Rolling in the Deep while stirring this honey into my tea, knowing it will perfectly compliment it, leaving a warm impression without completely bowling over everything else.
