Deluxe Tea Sugar (Rock Sugar for Tea)

Deluxe Tea Sugar (Rock Sugar for Tea)

What is tea sugar? It's just rock sugar for tea. We recommend it because:

  • as opposed to table sugar, it adds sweetness without changing flavor
  • comes in small pieces so you can add in just a drop, as needed
  • great presentation factor for guests
100% amber rock cane sugar crystals.  Use to taste.

4-oz packets will sweeten approx. 60-80 cups of tea
8-oz packets will sweeten approx. 120-160 cups of tea.

 

Note: crystals can take longer to dissolve than traditional sugar; add them into water at the start of the steeping cycle if you have this issue.

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.

When you need sugar, this is the way to go

Although I try to avoid sugar when I can, some teas just need extra sweetening. There's just something I find inherently neat-o about sugar in rock form; I find it adds to the tea experience rather than stirring in a spoonful of granules (boring!).
I toss a few rocks on top of my tea before adding the water and it dissolves just fine.

Perfect for desk storage

Sometimes, tea is just not sweet enough. With these drops, it's so easy to add just a bit of sweetness. Even great when I'm too lazy to brew my own iced tea and don't find the bottled stuff sweet enough. Shaking a few sugar rocks into the bottle, closing it back up, and shaking to dissolve/distribute is the perfect solution (and far less messy than trying to pour sugar from the sugar canister!).

The best Rock Sugar

My experience with this sugar has been awesome. I’ve searched around and cannot find anything similar to it. It makes a great glass of tea and has hints of caramel/vanilla or at least that’s what my tastebuds taste. But seriously I can’t find anything local or anywhere else that compares to the rock sugar that Plum Deluxe makes.

Rock Sugar

I really like that this adds a touch of sweetness without overpowering the flavor. It's easy to drop a rock or two in with the tea leaves for just a small amount of sweetness.

Rock sugar is the best

Plum Deluxe is the only place I have been able to find rock sugar.
Can sweeten your tea as much or as little as you want.
Absolutely phenomenal !!!

Delicious sugar treat

I've never had this before but now add it to all of my tea. If you are a sugar person give it a try. I will always restock this. Plus it looks fun in the sugar bowl.

Sweetness Guaranteed

I love using this instead of granulated sugar in my tea. It is convenient.and adds just the right amount sweetness to each cup. I can add more or less and I can do it with my honey for a little added boost

Perfect

This is a perfect way to sweeten your tea and allow the tea flavor to come thru. Add as many or as few of the little sugar rocks to your taste preference. No sugar crystal/powdery mess. I put mine in with the tea leaves so it has time to dissolve while the leaves are brewing.

Memories!

This reminds me of the rock candy I loved as a kid. It would either be loose pieces in a little paper box, or on a string. Good stuff! Perfect for hot tea not too sweet just enough. Also good for nausea or a scratchy throat. Will order more in the future!

Raw sugar and honey sticks

I love the light touch of sugar that both of these products bring to my morning tea ritual. I always keep the raw sugar especially on hand for those special days when I’m feeling real close to my spiritual high. Nothing processed or machine made for those times.

Perfect sweetness without changing the flavor of the tea!! I love it!!

I never want to go back to honey and white sugar again! When it first arrived, I was so surprised at the size of the 4oz bag. It's huge! I used it in my tea and what a difference it makes! It dissolves perfectly and allows for me to accurately measure the sweetness! Probably the best thing I like about this sweetener is that it doesn't add any extra flavor to my tea, perfect for Royale teas! Thoroughly brightened by this!

J
Julie A.

This is my first time using rock sugar in tea, and needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. It really brings out the natural flavor of the tea without overpowering it the way honey can if you use too much. Usually I add the rock sugar, let it dissolve, taste test, and then I add some raw honey if I want the added honey flavor. It's soooo good! Would highly recommend!

K
Kamren

It's a good middle ground in flavor profile between brown sugar and white sugar, but not a substitute for honey. Different teas work with different sweeteners. This one is just good on its own.

These little gems make for a great additive to a gift basket of tea for a friend/family member. They give an extra sweet deal to your tea and makes you seem like you are of royalty. Love them!

Just adds the right amount of sweetness to your tea and still allows for the flavor of the tea to shine through.

I love this "rock" sugar. Gives such a nice honey and sugar flavor to my tea. I'm a milk and sugar girl and this is great!

I see no advantage to using the rock sugar over using agave syrup or honey, but it was worth a trial.

Fabulous

This is a great way to sweeten tea, or any other drinks for that matter. It takes very few rocks per cup of tea so the package does last.

L
Lisa J.

I didn’t find it any better than other sugar or honey. It was nicely packaged and something different but not really worth the cost.

Perfect way to sweeten your tea without changing the flavor!

Having the rock sugar in my tea makes the difference between me drinking tea or reaching for a soft drink. I'm disappointed that got rid of the lemonade mixes. I also added those to my teas.
