Thoughtfully Sourced Ingredients

Ethical Sourcing

From field to cup, we're deeply committed to both sustainability and exceptional quality. That's why we build direct relationships with farmers we know and trust – from all over the world to right here in the Pacific Northwest – to carefully select only the finest natural, organic, and wildcrafted ingredients.

All of our ingredients are fairly traded, supporting ethical work conditions and fair wages for the communities that cultivate them.

Clean Ingredients

Ingredients are always listed. We don't use stevia or sweeteners in teas. Our teas are also vegan, dairy free, and gluten free. (This does not apply, of course, to our sweets and treats section.)

Extracts and Essences

To deliver peak freshness and consistent quality, we blend and flavor our teas in-house. We use pure extracts and essences derived from real ingredients like fruits, flowers, nuts, or spices – similar to baking extracts or essential oils, but formulated specifically for the delicate art of tea blending.

Our essences and flavors are made only with real, natural ingredients – nothing artificial. You may also find essences like "butterscotch" or "caramel" in our tea ingredients. Rest assured, these aren't artificial flavorings! We use a special proprietary blend of real, natural ingredients, gently distilled and balanced to embody those rich and comforting flavor notes.

Commitment to Quality

We go the extra mile to ensure exceptional quality. Before any tea earns the Plum Deluxe stamp of approval, it undergoes thorough testing for aroma, visual appeal, taste, and even its ability to offer a satisfying second steep. When you choose our teas, you can be confident you're selecting only the very best, crafted with care just for you.

Still curious? We're always happy to chat! Reach out to us at hello@plumdeluxe.com with any questions you have about our ingredients or sourcing practices.

Teas are packaged by the ounce. Some of our best sellers are available in 4 oz sizes, and tea club members can buy by the pound and save 40%.

Fruity goodness

Light, fresh fruit aromas blended perfectly creating a smooth comfort with a sense of fresh summer breeze.
Lovely fruit flavor, light flavor not overpowering. Great iced or hot.

Hi there! We're so glad you enjoyed the fruity notes and refreshing experience of our herbal tea. Thanks for sharing your lovely review!

Nice tea, just not for me

Nice tea, just not for me. It has has great ingredients, has almost a caramel taste, if you like that, but just wasn't enjoyable for me.

Hi Lisa, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you liked the ingredients and flavor profile, even if it wasn't quite for you. You might try a shorter steep for less of the elderberry notes. We appreciate your feedback and hope you find a perfect match soon!

Aptly named indeed

This tea has a good strength of flavor, which I like, stronger than the Slowly Unwind which has similar ingredients, and it's unmistakably fruity (Slowly Unwind is both fruity and floral). I don't usually get excited about fruity teas, but this one's different because it has tartness, and that and the flavor strength will get through to you in whatever mental health stuff you might be going through (since the name suggests that benefit); although all tea can be good for mental health stuff, sometimes you need a little bit of a "smack," and this tea does that in a way that gives strong comfort. I think this is a good tea to relax with.

The Best of All

I love the Self care herbal tea out of all the teas l have tried. It is smooth lite taste that does not need anything else. It is good hot or cold. It helps me unwind and I have a problem with caffeine so this is perfect. Great blend. I hope you keep this as a forever blend.

My personal favorite

I just love this tea. This is the tea I reach for on a regular basis. It has a great flavor. I like it piping hot and still like it after it has cooled a bit. The flavor just says "TEA" to me. I do alternate and do some other flavors, but this is the flavor I always go back to. And the immunity factor really adds to it - especially for the winter months. It is my go-to self care moment!

Calming

Anything with honeybush is certainly a winner in my book and this tea is no different. It is a calming and relaxing drink. The hint of elderberry adds to it without overpowering it. Does it boost my immunity? Who knows. Does it boost my mood? You betcha!

2nd go to immune support

If Apricot is your thing....

Well, apricot is my thing! I adore anything apricot flavored, particularly if it is blended into a tea. Honeybush is such a versatile tea, mild enough to allow other flavor profiles it is combined with to really shine. The apricot is front and center in this blend, with a natural sweetness that is able to sustain the semi-tart elderberry. Over ice, it is beyond tasty. An all around lovely blend.

Lovely

An absolute favorite!

This blend is absolutely perfect. The honeybush base brings all the flavors into balance. It makes a wonderful hot tea at the end of evening or a perfect midday iced. Its one of my favorites!

It’s THAT good

SO good that it’s become part of my evening routine. Made hot with a squeeze of lemon and a tiny bit of honey is the perfect way to wind down at the end of the day!

My favorite herbal tea!

This apricot elderberry blend is my favorite herbal tea--not just from Plum Deluxe but of all the teas I have (several dozen at any given time). The apricot shines and the elderberry is not too astringent. It's smooth, sweet, and unlike any other tea blend I have tried. I have a cup every evening almost year round!

Best tea ever!

Plum Deluxe makes the BEST teas. The Self Care Herbal is so calming and and perfect at the end of the day. I’ve tried a bunch of Plum Deluxe’s teas and haven’t found a single one I haven’t loved. Highly recommend!

A favorite of mine

My go to tea has always been black tea with milk. Most of the herbal teas I've used have been dessert teas. Self care herbal is my favorite when I am feeling stressed. It has a mild flavor and is perfect when I want to sit quietly and relax with a cup of tea.

M
Melissa M.
This is such a blissful tea!

First, I never thought I'd love elderberry tea but it's quietly becoming my hero tea. Love this blend!

One of my favorites

Truly a perfectly named tea. I enjoy her in the morning to start my day. It’s a delicious blend of teas with a crisp taste of the apple and peach. I was impressed that there were nice size chunks of the fruit with my tea. You definitely can taste the difference with this brand. It’s fresh, invigorating and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Self care is the best tea

I love this tea, all the time, anywhere, especially during winter but mostly early morning after meditation I make a cup and sip on it while listening to the birds outside or just watching my favorite podcast

D
Deb M.
One of my favorites.

I drink this in the evening to help unwind. It was a wonderful taste, a light fruity/sweetness without being too much.

Sherry B.
a staple in my house!

I love this tea for unwinding at the end of the day. Sweet enough to cap off a meal nicely but not overly so. The flavors all meld together so well, each sip gives you a perfectly blended mix of all the components without leaning heavily in one direction. Definitely worth added to your routine if you haven't tried it yet!

Another favorite tea

I have a few favorite teas that I order from Plum Deluxe, and Self Care Blend (Elderberry - Apricot) is on the short list. Absolutely perfect after completing my morning work and taking a nice break from the chaos. Refreshing with a hint of sweetness. Love it.
