An elegant floral aroma of roses, violets and jasmine next to the powerful – yet delicate, sweet and fruity – scent of blossoming honeysuckle turned this into a fascinating olfactory experience. On the palate we took a sip from an old-fashioned lemonade and a bite from a slice of honeydew melon before finishing with the crunchy texture from a bowl of tropical fruit granola.

Adding water brought forward a whole new dimension, delivering creamy, aromatic heather honey and tepache, a refreshing drink made from pineapple peels and brown sugar. The taste reminded some of us of a soothing cup of chamomile mint blossom tea served with malted buttermilk biscuits and spiced orange marmalade.
