Babes Beeline Honey Sparkling Drinks at Village Food Markets Sooke

Babe’s Sparkling Beeline is a locally-produced refreshing fermented drink with just the right amount of sweetness, made by adding a culture of yeast and bacteria to a sweet tea and letting it ferment for up to two weeks. Similar to kombucha in process, but different in flavour due to the difference in raw ingredients and microbes, a Beeline contains trace amounts of alcohol, but does not contain any cane sugar — only pure, raw local honey, infused with fresh juices, herbs and spices.

Founded in 1945 by Babe & Charlie Warren, Babe’s Honey Farm in Saanich began with a single beehive and a vision to provide high-quality, local honey to Vancouver Island. In over 75 years, it has grown into one of Western Canada’s most beloved bee farms, offering raw, unpasteurized honey, beeswax and related products.

Among several flavours, we carry the popular Mermaid Tears (citrus, lavender and hops), Ginger Splash and Currantly Hippy (rose hip, hibiscus and black currant) blends. Look for them in the main beverage cooler when you enter the store.

Perfect for any occasion, Beeline sparkling beverages are a unique twist on traditional honey use, providing a delicious, effervescent treat. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply looking for something new, Babe’s sparkling drinks are a must-try for honey lovers.
