This is one of the best teas carried by A Southern Season In my opinion. This was the first tea of tea party Wednesday. I always choose a nice black tea to start with if we are having a rich dessert, which we usually are.
Our dessert this time was Fudge Pie, the recipe from a local beloved restaurant that closed decades ago, and I made a raspberry sauce and homemade vanilla ice cream, also drizzled with raspberry sauce, to go with it. A single raspberry topped each serving. It was so rich that we needed a nice, plain black tea that had good body and flavor to stand up without standing out too much.
This was a very good tea with it, but I think that an even stronger one, like a Keemun, would have been better as the raspberry sauce was really flavorful.
On a side note, I have just been joined by the dog because my daughter’s hedgehog is keeping him up. He just started running on his wheel and he runs all.night.long.
Your tea parties sound glorious!
We have a lot of fun, and since my youngest daughter became obsessed with cooking I have gained four pounds and more visitors. LOL
