Meads

Sunflower Delight

Dry - 12% alc/vol

A traditional bone dry mead made from nectar from wildflowers, soybean and clover. This honey made from bees living in southeastern Kansas helped to make a refreshing beverage with a clean, crisp finish.

Kanza Cyser

Dry - 12% alc/vol

A cyser is a mead fermented from apple juice rather than water.  Sweet and bittersweet apples from Kansas, Missouri, and New York orchards were pressed and mixed with Kansas wildflower honey to make this crisp, dry mead.

This is a summery, light mead with a sweet floral finish.  Lavender Love is made with and sweetened with Kansas wildflower honey.  It should be enjoyed chilled, consumed with friends, and paired with rice dishes like jambalaya, chicken risotto, or arroz con pollo.

Hibiscus

Our hibiscus mead is based on a Trinidadian recipe created by the owner's grandmother, Ena Depradine.  Hibiscus mead is similar to drinks found in the Caribbean, the Mexican Gulf coast, northern South America, and West Africa called sorrel, bissap, flor de jamaica, sobolo, or zobo.  The seeds of the hibiscus plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) were transported to the Americas in the hair of women during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.  This mead is made from hibiscus calyces, spices, ginger, and Kansas wildflower honey.

Mass Memories

Mass Memories is an homage to the owner's home state, Massachusetts.  It is made from cranberry blossom honey collected from Nantucket Island and sweetened with Massachusetts dark amber maple syrup from the Berkshire Mountains.  It should be enjoyed chilled and allow yourself to be transported to the breezy shores of Cape Cod.
