Spencer Cocoa Chocolate (Dark) - 100g
Regular price $12.00 Save $-12.00Many months ago a customer sent us a couple of blocks of Spencer Cocoa chocolate. Chocolate always calls for a stop work meeting and so it was that we were introduced to the incredible taste of Spencer Cocoa chocolate. Not only is the chocolate extraordinary, but we all loved the packaging, chocolate mould and story so much that I called the maker to compliment him and ended up ordering a few cases. This is our chocolate of choice for hampers, snacking on and tastings in store
Tasting Notes:
Flavours of tropical fruits, tobacco, toffee, caramel and malt. Well balanced bitterness, sweetness and tartness. Aromatic hints of rosewood, coffee and cherry.
"Excellent product. Intense nose with smoke and whiskey notes... caramel and treacle flavours. Well rounded and balanced". Australian Food Awards 2016
Ingredients: Roasted cocoa beans, cocoa butter, Bundaberg raw sugar.

Miellerie Honey
Regular price $17.00 Save $-17.00Miellerie honey hails from the Tasmania wilderness where Frenchman, Yves Ginat, marries the french technique of soft setting honey with the extraordinary flower nectars of Tasmania.
Miellerie honey is unprocessed and unheated, thus maintaining the honey's optimum natural aroma, health qualities, and characteristic crystals. Each of the honeys in the Miellerie range are soft set, with a smooth, velvety texture that melts literally in your mouth (or on your sourdough crumpet)!
As an apiarist, Yves nurtures his bee community using organic and biodynamic beekeeping practices to maintain health and harmony from the hive to the jar. Essential to the integrity of Miellerie is their trade practice of cold extraction of the honey from the comb to harness the vitality, aroma, flavour, colour and texture of the exquisite nectars from the pristine Tasmanian forests.
If you love the caramel created when you boil a can of Condensed Milk, you'll go wild for Blue Gum honey. It's nature's version of caramel.
Leatherwood honey is quite simply an absolute taste sensation. A leatherwood tree has to be over 80 years old before it yields any blossoms and quite frankly you can taste that ancient wisdom in the honey. I tell our customers that visit Queen B that Leatherwood honey is "like being punched in the mouth with a bunch of flowers"... it is incredibly aromatic and floral and will be like nothing else you've ever tasted. Leatherwood honey is amazing to use where it's floral nature can be hero'ed... like dressings, savoury marinades or cakes/biscuits with only a few ingredients.
From late October to early January Lake Pedder yields the bees their favourite wild flower nectars (Banksia, Tea Tree, Button grass, Melaleuca, Peppermint) from the heart of Tasmania’s world heritage listed forests. If you love strong flavoured and manuka honey's, you'll love Lake Pedder's Nectar.

Propolis Tincture
Regular price $24.20 Save $-24.20Natural High Propolis tincture. Here at Queen B we love this amazing product which always seems to nip sore throats and oncoming colds in the bud. It hasn't got the nicest taste but its effects far out weigh the initial discomfort caused. It does have a slight burning sensation.
Some information about Propolis or bee glue is a resinous mixture that honey bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. It contains a high level of flavonoids( powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits) There is a warning on the bottle that this may cause allergic reactions.
