The four steps: How to run your tasting (non-video option)
Works with two people or ten. Set aside about an hour. You don't need to know anything about honey to do this.
1
Set up
Open your kit (but don’t peek under the labels — that’s the answer key
Give everyone a tasting card, lay out the spoons (you can use ice block sticks too) (you’ll need 5 per person) and a pen.
Place the five jars in the middle of the table.
Don’t peel the black labels yet — no spoilers!
2
Taste & Create
Each jar’s colored teardrop matches a row on your tasting card.
Start anywhere — everyone can begin with a different color and pass the jars around.
Take a small spoonful, then write down what your sense find. Flavor, texture, smell, a memory, a joke, anything goes. There are no wrong answers outside of the actual honey guess.

The Reveal
Once everyone has tried all five, peel the black labels back.
Scan the QR code to see where your honey came from, meet the beekeeper who harvested it, and read the test results for that batch. This is our favorite part.
Compare cards to see who guessed which honeys right.
