The Honibe™ brand has garnered international attention in recent months for the product the Honey Drop™. The Honey Drop™ was the first product launched under the Honibe™ brand and is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure dried honey without any additives. It is ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. Simply drop into a hot beverage and stir. You have all of the natural honey flavour without the usual honey mess.  Most recently, the Honey Drop™ won two SIAL D’or Awards at the world’s largest food tradeshow in Paris, France and will now be one of nine finalists competing for best new food product in the world this fall.
