Local forest communities work with bees in close proximity to indigenous coffee trees, their blossom nectar provides the resulting honey this BBQ-like flavor profile.
Coffee blossom honey is derived from the nectar of the coffee flower, which blooms for a very short period before falling off the tree as the growth of the cherry begins.
There are many species of coffee that grow wild in the forests of Ethiopia. These coffee honeys come from inside or proximate biosphere reserves such as Majang Cloud forest biosphere reserve in Ethiopia.
