We’ve just used lighter, early-season clover and wildflower honey for our Tej, so no personal opinion for you here.
But Tyler, at Chasing Railways, has researched lots of honey types and their flavors raw and in mead: https://chasingrailways.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/notes-2-choosing-honey-for-mead/
