On 16 and 17 May 2026, the NYUKKI brand set out its very first jars. Our aim was to introduce our genuine African honey in Paris. The event took place in the heart of Afro-Caribbean Paris, on rue Saint-Merri in the 4th arrondissement. It was our fine food shop’s very first appearance in this world, and it felt completely natural to our team.
A knowledgeable crowd at the Afro-Caribbean Market
The Afro-Caribbean Market crowd knows its products intimately. These are truly passionate customers who grew up with their grandmother’s comforting honey, and who know traditional plants and raw village shea well. It is a demanding audience, proud of its roots, looking above all for authenticity.
The absolute authenticity of our forest honey
Facing such a knowledgeable audience, we did not need long explanations. The difference between a genuine Beninese forest honey and an industrial honey is obvious: the raw quality of our products stands out quickly, and our beekeepers’ craftsmanship is instinctively understood from the first taste. The terroir speaks for itself.
Exclusive launch of our teas and infusions
This Paris event also marked another milestone: our first time at a fair with our exclusive line of teas and infusions , which made its official debut. We had the pleasure of presenting unique creations. You were able to taste the Homme Puissant infusion and the SlimTblend, and of course our delicious Honey-Lemon-Ginger.
A much-appreciated tasting experience
These three blends are carefully designed to combine flavour and pleasure, and they were extremely well received by an audience naturally attached to plants and their traditions. This lovely event around African honey in Paris marks the start of our tour. Discover all these exceptional products in our NYUKKI online shop.
