A Family Legacy, Preserved in Honey: From Black American Beekeepers to Your Tea Cup
When it comes to honey, not all sweetness is created equal.
At our tea company, we believe what you add to your cup should mean something—where it comes from, who produced it, and the story it carries. That belief is exactly why we’re proud to introduce Sonny Days Raw Honey, launching online this January. This isn’t just honey. It’s family, legacy, and intention—harvested by Black American beekeepers and rooted in generations of care.
Sonny Days Raw Honey is produced by our very own Aunt and Uncle, experienced beekeepers who tend their hives with patience, knowledge, and deep respect for the bees. Their approach blends tradition with thoughtful innovation, resulting in a raw honey that’s as meaningful as it is flavorful.
The name Sonny Days honors our late grandfather, Major Sonny King, a man who believed in creating joy, warmth, and “sweet days” wherever he went. Naming this honey after him felt natural—it’s a tribute to the legacy he left behind and the one we continue to build.
Black American beekeepers have played an essential yet often overlooked role in agricultural history. Supporting Black-owned, family-run apiaries helps preserve this vital tradition while promoting sustainability and community wealth.
By choosing Sonny Days Raw Honey, you’re directly supporting:
Black American beekeepers
Family-owned agricultural practices
Ethical, small-batch honey production

Every jar represents more than a product—it represents pride, heritage, and ownership.
What makes Sonny Days honey unique? Our honey is raw, meaning it’s minimally processed to preserve its naturally occurring enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients. The bees are cared for responsibly, with practices that prioritize hive health, longevity, and balance with nature.
