Our craftsmanship

The land

the highlands of Tigray, a wild, arid land at altitude, where nature sets its own rhythm.

The flower

the Girbia, a small wild flower of these highlands, offers the bees, for the length of a single bloom, a nectar that gives rise to a naturally pale, delicate honey.

The harvest

rare and closely guarded, intimately tied to the rhythm of the bloom and the remoteness of this land.

The packaging

a glass jar that reveals a glimpse of its creamy ivory texture.

One flower, one honey

Unlike honeys drawn from multiple blooms, Trésor Blanc is made almost entirely from the nectar of a single wild flower: the Girbia (Hypoestes forskaolii), which blankets the Tigray highlands in spring. Regarded by Ethiopian beekeepers as one of the country's most precious melliferous plants, its unusually short bloom lasts only a few weeks in May. It is this flower that gives the honey its ivory colour, its naturally creamy texture and its delicate aromas.

The Tigray highlands

At over 2,500 metres above sea level, the Tigray landscape is as spectacular as it is demanding. The climate is dry, the terrain rugged, and reaching our hives is often difficult. Yet this unspoiled land, far from intensive farming, allows the bees to forage on wild flora in an environment of remarkable purity. The flower's brief bloom explains both the rarity of this honey and the limited size of our harvest.

A treasure shaped by nature

Carefully harvested by Moïse and his wife Nebi, then simply filtered, our honey is never heated, so as to preserve the full richness of its aroma. It is a raw honey — unheated and unpasteurised. Its naturally creamy texture reflects both its botanical origin and its natural crystallisation. Each harvest faithfully expresses the character of its terroir and the rhythm of the seasons.

A honey that is reviving a region

Trésor Blanc is harvested, under Moïse's guidance, by young beekeepers from Tigray — a region marked by years of conflict that saw every hive burned to the ground. By building this beekeeping network alongside them, Artisans du Levant has funded the construction of new hives, helping restore a lasting livelihood to families now rebuilding their future. In this region, where beekeeping means far more than a trade, every hive has become a symbol of self-reliance and hope.

Tasting notes

A luminous ivory colour. An ultra-creamy, velvety texture. A delicate palate with soft floral notes and a subtly green finish.

Did you know?

The colour of a honey is the signature of the flowers the bees have foraged. Almost translucent for acacia, ivory for certain honeys of the Tigray highlands, amber for chestnut, or deep and dark for buckwheat: every bloom leaves its mark on the honey — not only its colour, but its character and its aromatic palette.
