Mexican Honey Tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Mexican Honey Tomato – special features of the variety
The Mexican Honey Tomato is also known by its French name, Miel du Mexique. The vigorous plant produces long trusses with many round, red cocktail tomatoes and ripens comparatively early. Its continuous growth allows a long harvest period under good conditions. This open-pollinated variety can be found among our heirloom tomatoes.
Fruit, flavour and use
The fruit, usually weighing 15 to 30 grams, is juicy, distinctly sweet and yet pleasantly aromatic. It's great straight for snacking, in salads, for a light lunch and on tomato skewers. Thanks to its handy size, the variety also works well as a sweet vegetable snack. You'll find more small varieties among our cherry & cocktail tomatoes.
Sweet cocktail tomatoes compared
Even smaller fruit grows on the Yellow Currant, a bushy wild tomato with yellow fruit weighing around 5–8 g. Dark cherry tomatoes with a sweet, bold flavour grow on Black Cherry. The Mexican Honey Tomato remains the classic red, distinctly sweet type; the first fruit ripens around 60–70 days after planting out.
Growing in a bed or pot
The vigorous cordon tomato can grow well over two metres and needs a tall, sturdy support. Train to one or two main shoots and tie in regularly. Plant in a sunny, warm and, where possible, sheltered spot. In a container, plan for at least 20 litres of substrate and keep the water supply even. Our guide to supporting and training tomatoes shows which supports suit such tall plants; pinching out tomato side shoots explains how to train the shoots.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Mexican Honey Tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
