There's nothing quite like tender, fall off the bone tender pork ribs that just stick to your ribs, so I was pretty delighted when one of the entrées at the first stop of Dilmah's tea trail featured Meyer House's rendition of Hawaiian BBQ spare ribs.

It definitely didn't disappoint, as it was sensationally savory, smoky and chock full of flavor. It was fantastically fall-off-the-bone tender, and the meat that effortlessly slid of the ribs were joyously juicy. Better yet, the ribs were generously coated with a thick, abundant layer of titillating BBQ sauce, a fact that pleased me and my fellow Tastemakers who shared this delight with me.

Due to the ridiculous richness of the BBQ ribs, iced chamomile tea that had been infused with honey and lime was paired up with this dish. The smooth, soothing notes of chamomile washed down the fatty rib meat and thick, sumptuous sauce while cleansing the palette. The honey within brought and element of sweetness that complemented the ribs well, and the zesty lime within cut straight through all the grease and rich meatiness to keep your palette fresh and ready for more.

Many thanks to @dilmahsg and @foodcultpr for organizing this tea trail, and to @burpple for the invite!
