Thank you for your astute observations, Bob. In a perfect world, my tea would have no honey, no need for any sweetener. I share your concerns about anything that raises our blood glucose levels in a relatively rapid fashion. For me though, I prefer just a bit of honey rather than more processed sugar to get the equivalent sweetness. Imperfect, but perhaps preferred. Thankfully, the Manuka is very much to my taste.

Always appreciate your support and insights. Hoping you have a joy-filled 2022.
