C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

[3rdguy]

Returns Tuesday, July 20th — with a very special twist. A blend of the finest Bright and Red Virginias balanced by 2014 Basma and 2013 Izmir Orientals, this year's edition of our summer Small Batch blend commends itself with subtle notes of raw, ethically sourced, single-farm honey from the 2020 Black Locust pollination in Maryland — a variety prized for its small yields, extremely light color, and delicate sweetness. Run of 10,000 tins.

from the 2020 Black Locust pollination

Brood X aren't pollinators, and they didn't emerge until 2021.?

I doubt my palate will be able to pick up enough of a difference between this new batch and previous releases.

 

[NomadOrb]

I could always use more Sunbear.

I think it is honey made from bees using a particular Black Locust plant for pollen.

Did you know that trees provide most of the surplus nectar and pollen for bees? Or that 5 or 6 trees produce as much nectar and pollen as a whole field of wildflowers? Most people don’t. That…

That makes more sense. The version with honey from Jeremy Reeve's hives made the blend more personal and more appealing somehow.

What happened to Jeremy Reeves’ bees?

I liked the 2020, and I doubt my palate is sensitive enough to tell the difference between this honey and any other honey-adjacent sweetener they could use. The honey provenance stuff is really selling past the close for me. I’ll get a couple regardless.

Perhaps. But there's always that chance.

Calendar set. We've got WCC Glass Slipper coming out soon too, gonna be a good month.

Edit: in before the "im tired of being manipulated by small batches" people show up ?

I never had the chance to grab any of the previous Sun Bear batches. Hopefully I score a couple of these ones. Sounds like a good blend

Fightnhampster cleared it up.? Like jwebb90 I'd like be unable to discern a difference.
