As my husband pulled in to our little podunk, closet-sized post office yesterday, I said, “I hope we get some fun mail today!” And we did! A lovely and thoughtful card from the lovely and thoughtful ashmanra and two little sunshiny teabags of Meyer Lemon.
After scanning the ingredient list (rosehips and hibiscus figure pretty prominently), I was expecting to tear up from the tartness, which would’ve been helpful—I had been mowing in a gale and all kinds of things blew into my eyes. But instead of eye-watering sourness, it was surprisingly and refreshingly lemony. Zingy, but not painful.
As to accuracy of flavor, I don’t know that I have ever consciously tried a Meyer lemon, although I think they have more of a bass note to them than regular brassy grocery store lemons. If that’s the case, Stash did a good job of replicating it.

I just had this sweet and iced for lunch outside! I always think of you when I see Meyer lemon anything because you are the first person I ever heard of them from! I thought it was decent and nice for summer.
Do you have any local retail stores that carry any Stash flavors? We very occasionally see them at Natural Grocers or our Walmart Neighborhood Market, but the selection is pretty basic.
I found this one at Christmas Tree Shops, but they did not have a huge Stash selection. I never go to Walmart, it is a bit out of the way for us, so I don’t know if ours carries any Stash.
Stash is very common in my area, as I live in the Pacific Northwest and they are a Portland (OR) company. Quite a few varieties at my local grocery haunt, let me know if there are any in particular you are looking for.
Thanks! Back in my early tea days, I mail-ordered from Stash a lot … this was in the decade or so before the online options exploded.
