Miel de azahar. Orange blossom honey of which we have virtual tons here being in a big citrus belt. Flavored-infused honey isn't a thing here, at least I don't think so.
Ah and orange blossom honey happens to be a really nice one, one of the lighter honeys out there, and crisply translucent. I find, as I say in the entry here, that it doesn't really taste like oranges except after you've swallowed it and exhale there's a hit of the smell of oranges on your breath (:
I'd be curious to try other citrus, lemons / limes / grapefruit and compare
I love honey and use it often in my cooking and baking, and in my tea. I buy genetic honey in quart jars, generally going through a quart or more a year. Although I've had specific honeys (my friend brought me a lovely one from blackberry flowers in Montana), I don't actively hunt them out. I don't think my palette is well-enough refined to manage to tell the difference on a cold winter morning when I simply want to add honey to my blackberry/lavender tea.
They are both labeled with the names of the farms where they were made. One says "100% Natural Raw Honey" and the other says "Pure and Natural". The latter I'm certain is from a mixture of wildflowers because that's the other thing that farmer sells. The former was a gift and I haven't been to that farm. I don't know how I would describe either of them, lol.

I've had lemon blossom honey which is somehow more robust tasting than orange blossom but equally good in a different way.

I had to go look at the honeys I have . . . ;)
