It is composed of a blend of three types of honey: cotton\u2013 alfalfa, orange blossom and sage. Each type brings a unique quality to the blend and contributes to the overall complexity of the mead. Alfalfa is neutral in flavor but yields a dark, amber color. The orange blossom brings a floral bouquet to the nose of the wine. Toyon, an evergreen shrub also known as California Holly, is lighter in color than the alfalfa and helps to balance the blend. Our Mead can be served chilled or mulled with the included spice packs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bargetto.orderport.net\/product-details\/0084\/CHAUCERS-MEAD-FULL-SPICE-750ML\">\u2013Add to cart<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 27px;\" \/>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/Rasp-Mead.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-515\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/Rasp-Mead.png\" alt=\"Raspberry-Mead-800\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Raspberry Mead<\/h2>\n<p>Our Raspberry Mead is a blend of our Chaucer\u2019s Mead and a small portion of our Raspberry Wine.
