This is due to the fact that by the time the heather is in bloom, other plants have already stopped blooming. Of course, there will be years when the heather starts to bloom earlier, and then the first harvest will be mixed harvest. Despite the high content of heather nectar, strong heather taste and aroma, the honey might still crystallize. Due to its mildly bitter-sweet taste, it is a favorite of many people for using it on bread and in tea.
