Description
What is your issue?
We have support for timezones now (suprise!) thanks to ExtensionArray support.
A brief non-exhaustive list of what might be needed to build some confidence here:
- we should add such an array to
create_test_datasetso we have some minimal testing. - we'll need to build DatetimeCoder support: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3320
iselstill seems to be broken: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/9307

Research direction
Start by reviewing the create_test_dataset entry point and how timezone-aware ExtensionArrays are represented in the existing tests. Then read the linked DatetimeCoder issue (#3320) and isel issue (#9307) to separate the needed coverage from the known failures. Done means the requested timezone-aware array coverage is added and the relevant behavior is verified.
