ashmanra drank Keemun Hao Ya A by A Southern Season

I made this to be the first tea for our tea time today. We had White Chocolate Meyer Lemon Tart, thanks to gmathis describing Meyer lemons last year so enticingly that I had to try them and find recipes to use them! I wanted a good, strongish, unflavored black tea to accompany the tart and this was a delicious choice. This Hao Ya A is very mild compared to others I have tried but we enjoy it and it is especially good paired with food. It can definitely hold its own.

Was that me? Regardless … now I’m craving lemon meringue pie. Or pie of any kind.

I thought you mentioned Meyer lemon about a year ago, but it may have been someone else. Then I saw a tea at Southern Season with Meyer lemon, then a mention elsewhere, and it snowballed. I really wanted to try them and couldn’t find them at first. The pie was very good…now I want to try making key lime pie.
