Plum Deluxe Advent Day 1

Given that I typically come to Plum Deluxe for their flavored tea, I was surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. I found it smooth and mellow, not too acidic, with just a hint of bitterness at the end. I added some apricot infused honey, which brightened it up a bit and took the hint of bitterness away completely.

With the second packet I made iced tea and found it excellent.

I can’t say I expect to keep up with them all, but since I’m a sucker for a sampler pack and I’ve wanted to try a few of these brands, I dove all in!

More power to you! I’ve had many previous years just like that ha ha. Fun, but gets overwhelming quickly.

Bio

Mom of 2, adjunct, and general homebody in California.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
