Cloister Honey | Whipped Honey - Matcha - 3oz
It's a matcha made in heaven. Created from stone-ground green tea leaves into a delicate powder, matcha is dissolved in hot water to make tea or used as a flavoring. The traditional Japanese tea ceremony, which the matcha ritual stems from, has mindfulness at its roots. Ichi-go ichi-e ("one time, one meeting") is the idea that every encounter is unique and can never be reproduced.
This whipped honey, with it’s uniquely earthy taste and color, is a reminder to stay grounded and enjoy each and every moment.
Add as a topping granola, yogurt, and fruit parfaits Mix in with homemade ice cream Blend into a banana, spinach, and coconut smoothie
About Cloister Honey…
It all started with a Christmas gift. It was 2007 and Cloister Honey founders Joanne de la Rionda and Randall York were working in the finance and banking industry. Joanne thought a honey bee hive would make the perfect hobby for husband Randall, a science and environmental enthusiast.
Shortly after receiving two hives from Brushy Mountain Bee Farm and classes from Mecklenburg County Bee Keepers Association for Christmas, Randall became a bonafide "bee nerd." Fortunately for them, the bee market did much better than banking the next few years. So well in fact, that Joanne and Randall quit their day jobs and started splitting up the hives, multiplying them more and more each year.
With all that honey came lots of opportunities for delicious recipes. Joanne started to create and experiment in their kitchen with multiple spices, styles, textures, and infusions. Her culinary creations led them to receive top awards from Southern Living, Our State Magazine, and Charlotte Magazine and extend partnerships to retailers like William Sonoma, Whole Foods, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Dean & DeLuca, and more. When Joanne and Randall aren't attending gourmet food markets and tradeshows, they're in Charlotte running Cloister Honey and sister concept, Great River Hemp Co.
Joanne & Randall welcome you to the hive, where life is sweet!
