"I've never been as delighted with a 'surprise me' subscription - every tea is exceptional and wonderful, and I've never gotten a single one that I consider 'throw away' as always happened with other subscriptions." - Christine (tea club member for 8+ years)Recommended by trusted authori-teas, including…
Take Your Tea-Loving Taste Buds on a New Adventure Every Month
There's no simpler, sweeter pleasure than a new tea (or two) in your mailbox every month.
Each artisanal tea blend is tailored to suit the season. For example, we'll send heartier teas or teas paired for heavy foods in winter, and lighter or iced-friendly teas in summer. We take community feedback on all of our blends into account to make sure we're always sending teas you love.
While most of the time, all of our community members will receive the same tea each month, when you choose a plan at $10/month or more, you can opt for non-caffeinated teas or tell us any ingredients you can't tolerate.
- Nana's Famous Peach Tea (with almond)
- Pears and Cinnamon
- Lemon Ginger with a Hint of Basil
- Bahama Breeze Coconut Pineapple
- Raspberry Earl Grey
We'd tell you the next one, but... it's a surprise!

Hand-Blended with Love & Expertise
in Portland, Oregon
Hi! I'm Andy Hayes, founder of Plum Deluxe and chief tea maker here at our Portland studio.
Maybe you were envisioning a squad of lab-coated technicians inside a giant factory, with stacks of raw ingredients piled next to curious equipment.
But our shop (and my process) is decidedly more low-key.
Every time I blend a new tea, I like to start with an intention for how to enjoy it. For example…
- A great tea to sip while reading a book
- The perfect tea for cheering on a holiday celebration
- An ideal tea for serving after a big meal
Keeping my intention in mind, I draw on my years of experience to blend up 2 or 3 different "test teas". Then comes the fun part: I steep, sip, review, adjust, and repeat.
The teas that pass muster during this exacting process often go out to a small group of "tea testers" for further evaluation.
Only the best teas make it to the final step: being hand-blended in larger batches for our Organic Tea of the Month Club members.
What kinds of flavors can you expect? While we use ingredients from around the world, our flavors are often informed by our love for the Pacific Northwest - for example, in our limited-edition Portland Rose City Chai, and our best-selling Oregon Breakfast Black Tea.

Tea-quently Asked Questions
Depending on your plan, each Organic Tea of the Month club shipment contains approximately 1-2 oz of tea, as well as sprinkles of gratitude and affection for being a Plum Deluxe customer.
We also include our "surprise scoop" of another sample tea, and regularly also enclose gifts and surprises. You'll also get links to brewing instructions, recommended uses for the tea, and recipes.
Recurring subscriptions are billed at the interval you choose (monthly, quarterly, or annual) from your initial purchase date. And we know nobody likes money surprises, unless they've just won the lottery. So if you ever have questions about your renewal, email us at hello@plumdeluxe.com
Plum Deluxe teas are blended by hand, and we only make enough of each batch to fulfill current demand, which is why we work on a pre-order basis. Due to the exacting and very personal nature of our specialty blends, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges on the tea that we sell - nor can we offer refunds on Organic Tea of the Month subscription payments.
If you find that you get a monthly tea box shipment that isn't well, your cup of tea, we ask that you pass it along to a friend who will enjoy it. Then share your feedback with us so we can continue to improve our product. And it's easy to cancel your recurring plan - the link is right here.
Yes! We'd love to introduce you to the world of high-quality, loose leaf tea. Our tea community is friendly and inviting, and we aim to answer all questions posted in our private Facebook group promptly. Your subscription will feel like a big hug welcoming you into tea enjoyment.
We're a small, specialized, family owned-and-operated business. Everything we make is blended with love, positive intentions, and so much gratitude for you, our Plum Deluxe customer.
We take our tea ingredients seriously. Unlike most companies, we source all of our individual ingredients and then put together the recipes and blends all in house. This ensures the highest quality and the most creative, flavorful combinations.
Nearly all of our ingredients are backed by USDA-compliant organic certifications. In cases where we work with a non-certified vendor, we're choosing ingredients that are:
- Carefully wildcrafted
- From a region of the world that does not have an organic certification program (such as parts of Japan or Taiwan)
- From small family farms that cannot yet afford their certification, or have not yet completed their certification
In every case, we carefully vet our ingredients to ensure they're full of flavor and free of any unwanted chemicals, artificial flavors, or genetically modified organisms.
Thank you for trusting us to find you the freshest, most delicious ingredients grown on sustainable, fair-trade farms!
The bulk of our featured teas have caffeine, but sometimes we send all subscribers an herbal tea. We're one of the few companies to offer a caffeine-free/herbal tea subscription - you can choose no caffeine on the $10/month plan.
And if you ever change your mind about caffeine, just shoot us an email at hello@plumdeluxe.com and we'll update your profile.
If you have an allergy or other tea preference in your profile, it is possible to get a duplicate tea throughout the year. We try to keep this to a minimum, although some customers have a specific tea on profile with us that they prefer, so be sure to be in touch with us so we can make sure you have the best tea experience.
We know that feeling of rushing out in your robe each morning to meet the mail delivery, waiting on pins and needles anxiously for your delicious teas to arrive. We currently ship via USPS First Class Mail. Teas are usually mailed by the 8th of each month and arrive 2-5 days later.
Nope! Only a few of our teas (at the moment) contain plums. The "Plum" in Plum Deluxe refers to the old English definition of "plum" as something lucky and unexpected. In more traditional tea cultures, anything that was plum-related was said to be sacred and auspicious.
Even More Answers ExpandYes! Once you've subscribed, shoot us an email at hello@plumdeluxe.com and let us know more about your allergy. We'll include it on your profile so you can enjoy your tea subscription without health threats.
However, please be aware that we use a single processing facility for all teas, so we can't guarantee prevention of cross-contamination. Plum Deluxe teas are hand-blended in a single facility that also processes tree nuts. If your allergy is severe or life-threatening, please check in with us before you purchase.
Beyond your initial caffeine preferences, as mentioned above, please let us know if you have specific allergies or ingredient concerns so we can note them in your profile. (We don't need to know about gluten, vegan, or dairy intolerances! None of these ingredients are ever included in your teas.)
That said… part of the magic and adventure of the Plum Deluxe tea subscription is trying new flavors, and many of our subscribers are new to loose leaf tea. We've found that people limit themselves when given the opportunity to set flavor preferences, usually because many of us had poor-quality supermarket teas in our early tea experiences.
We get emails every day from club members who are grateful we exposed them to a new experience with many flavors they thought they didn't like - everything from Earl Grey to coconut!
(But if you know there's a particular item you just can't tolerate, please reach out, and we'll update your profile accordingly.)
Why yes, our tea IS pretty awesome, thank you! Because we hand-blend each batch and, at times, use ingredients we can't get larger quantities of, most of our teas are limited-edition.
But you CAN sometimes get more of a tea you love, depending on interest from the community and availability of ingredients. Just log into My Account and check the Tea Club tab for available blends. You can buy more of your favorite teas at a discount for up to 2 months after you receive that tea in the mail!
On occasion, a limited-edition blend becomes one of our regularly available signature blends (we usually announce these graduations with trumpet fanfare, and, naturally, a big tea party). Don't forget that inside the Tea Library, you can rate and review each blend. We use your feedback to determine future blends.
Oh yes. In the summer, we take extra care to make the best iced loose leaf blends, but our community is full of iced tea lovers who keep it cool year-round.
Beyond the United States, we also ship to:

"The smell is AMAZING in these teas! I left them in my room just to scent up the place before I brewed them up. These aren't ordinary loose teas you can buy from the grocery market, so it's worth giving Plum Deluxe a try!"- Hanalei H, Verified Buyer(tea club member for 5+ years)
