Plum Deluxe Sunshine in a Cup Herbal Tea
I was recently sent some beautiful Plum Deluxe Loose Leaf tea to review on Crazy Tea Chick.
Who said there weren’t any perks to being crazy? Not me, I never said it.
The first thing I noticed about Plum Deluxe was the stylish way they go about everything. They do everything with the level of charm you’d expect from a tea business.Even the logo is perfectly lovely.
I’ve actually been wanting to tell you about this beautiful and delicious tea for a few weeks now, but what with Christmas, New Year’s, and embarking on a total new design for the Crazy Tea Chick tea blog, I have been busier than anyone has a right to be.
Frankly, I thought it much more fitting to wait and “do right” by Plum Deluxe as opposed to rushing through a review and throwing up a random picture or two. Tea deserves better than that and Plum Deluxe is simply too classy to treat in a shoddy fashion. I may be crazy, but I’ve never been accused of being shoddy.
When I first brewed the beautiful and aromatic “Sunshine in a Cup Herbal Tea,” I was knocked out by the color as well as the taste. I’m a very visual person, so I take in and “breathe” the entire experience when enjoying tea (or coffee, chocolate, baseball…). The way I see it, the more of our senses we involve in our moments, the fuller our moments will be.
After thoroughly enjoying my first cups of tea, I brewed another little Hario pitcher of it, this time a little stronger than before – I wanted to make sure the gorgeous color showed up vividly in the pictures. Frankly, I’m still not sure the pictures do it credit.
The flavors in this tea are amazing. With calendula flowers, hibiscus flowers, you’d probably expect this tea to be unique. You’d be right! It’s very unique… very special. If you’re a fan (as I am) of Tazo’s Passion Tea, you’ll absolutely love this tea.
It makes a wonderful hot cup of tea but my favorite way to drink this particular herbal tea is iced. Words can’t describe the beautiful flavor.

Plum Deluxe
I love the approach Plum Deluxe with all things, including their About Page:
We’re a little different than your typical lifestyle blog, and we’re very different than your typical online tea company. We’re a community – and one of my not-so-subtle goals is to share the story and lessons I learned from my mother, Pam.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 59. The subsequent 5 years of her life while she battled the disease were some of the best years of her life. She took the opportunity for self-care days and spa treatments, to keep her spirits up. She went out to dinner parties with friends to celebrate each day, and went to the gym regularly and became very fit. She laughed more. She traveled more – visiting her favorite city, Paris, and finally visiting the town her family was from in Germany.
My mom taught me that no matter your circumstances, you can choose to create moments that matter, every day. And some of the most enjoyable moments are the small things – time to sleep in, relaxing in a reading nook, going on a neighborhood walk, or catching up with an old friend over a cup of tea. {Please Read More…}
As a mother, I can’t tell you how much I love and respect this son’s tribute to his mother. I can, however, tell you how incredibly proud and honored she’d be.
I’ve read through Plum Deluxe’s website and I’ve come away with this – it’s more of a community than a business. There is absolutely NO corporate coldness about Plum Deluxe. They’re as special as their tea is.
I hope you’ll visit their website and see all the exciting things they have going on. Things such as…
- Tea of the Month Club
- Free Weekly Newsletter
- Tea Articles (Think: Very informative tea blog)
- Tea!
If you have a special someone to shop for this Valentine’s Day, you might want to check out Plum Deluxe’s Tea Gift Sets – if you’re at all familiar with my sweet tooth, you won’t be surprised to know my personal pick is the Sweet Tooth Gift Set. Come on, anyone can pick up a box of candy. Show your Valentine that you’ve put extra thought into this – give them a tea gift set AND the box of candy.
Man I hope my husband’s reading this…
Tomorrow, I’ll review Plum Deluxe Tea’s Oregon Breakfast Black Tea and Monday I’ll post my review of their Vanilla Latte Tea. Each of the three is outstanding and highly recommended by none other than the Crazy Tea Chick, herself.
