Ogeechee Lime Tupelo flower. The source of Tupelo honey is full bloom right now. It's the Cadillac of honey. It has delicious flavor and doesn't granulate.

Very distinctive looking flower.
I bought some in the store, and was so disappointed. I'm sure what I ate was nothing like the real version.
Yeah. Tupelo has a very distinct flavor. Unfortunately what you bought in the store may not have been true Tupelo. It demands a high price. So counterfeiting happens. Knowing supplier helps here. Then again it could have been true Tupelo and it's just not a flavor you like. If you want the real McCoy, let me know. 🤙🏻
It was priced higher, and is the only brand of Tupelo I've seen on the west coast. It was possibly the most boring honey I have tried, aside of mega-industrial honey.
