Trinidad Honey Harvest Calendar: When Each Region's Honey Is Ready
Honey guide
By Jo Lee Herbert, founder of HerbWai Honey · Updated 26 September 2026
In Trinidad, HerbWai honey is harvested between January and July, region by region as each area’s trees come into flower: Savana Grande January to April, Biche January to March, Paria February to May, Toco March to June and Camparo May to July. From August to December we sell from those harvests while stocks last.

Why the harvest follows the dry season
Trinidad has two seasons: a dry season that roughly runs from January to May and a wet season through the rest of the year. Bees make honey from nectar, and nectar comes when the trees flower. In most of our regions the big flowering happens in and just after the dry season: the Yellow Poui turns the southern plains gold, and the immortelle and cocoa bloom in the estates. Heavy rain keeps bees in the hive and washes nectar from the flowers, so the wet months are quieter.
Region by region
Camparo: May to July (cocoa flowering)
Camparo Estate. A transition zone of rich biodiversity where forest meets cocoa estates. Dark, complex, and historically rich. Key flora: Cocoa Flower, Immortelle, Cedar. Tasting notes: cocoa, caramel, cedar. More about Camparo honey.
Savana Grande: January to April (Poui flowering)

Questions people ask
When is honey harvested in Trinidad?
Most of HerbWai's harvest falls between January and July: Savana Grande (January to April), Biche (January to March), Paria (February to May), Toco (March to June) and Camparo (May to July). It follows the flowering of each region's trees, which mostly happens in and just after the dry season.
Can I buy Trinidad honey outside the harvest months?
Yes, while stocks from the last harvest last. Honey keeps for a very long time, so bottles harvested in the dry season are sold through the rest of the year. Once a region's harvest is sold out, it's back when the next season comes in.
Which HerbWai honey is available right now?
As of 3 October 2026, Toco Wild Coast and Avocado & Mora are in season. Paria Reserve, Savana Gold, Camparo Estate and Biche Dark Medicinal are between harvests.
Does the season change how the honey tastes?
Yes. Each honey tastes of whatever was flowering when the bees made it: Yellow Poui in Savana Grande, cocoa blossom and immortelle in Camparo, water immortelle and manac palm in Biche. That's why a region's honey can vary a little from one year to the next.
