Simply added to water it acts as a powerful energizer at any time of the day. Lehua honey is a honey Connoisseur’s pure delight and honey lovers dream. There is a wonderful Hawaiian legend connected to the blossoms from which this nectar is collected, almost Mills and Boon style! Ohia was in love totally with Lehua and the very jealous Goddess of fire named Pele was very angry when Ohia spurned her advances. She turned him into an ugly tree on the remote volcanic slopes of a large Island of Hawaii. Unfortunately many other Gods tried to return him to his physical state and sadly failed. They realised their love was true so to reunite them they turned Lehua into a beautiful red blossom to grow on his branches. They can never now be apart, however, if anyone was to pluck a Lehua flower from Ohia’s branches it is said the sky fills with tears. Hawaiians consider the tree and blossoms as very sacred believing it symbolises "New Life". As the Lehua blossoms start to grow they are amongst the first plants to grow in new lava flows. This Lehua honey is quite rare because the blossoms only grow for three months in any one year so grab a jar or two as soon as you can. It is a pure form of raw organic honey which you will not only enjoy immensely but will also provide you with all the associated benefits of eating honey. Simply divine! ![]() |
