Disclosure: I received free tea from Plum Deluxe to facilitate my review. As always all opinions are my own.
Tea, wonderful tea. You know how much I love all things tea and today I want to share with my readers a great new tea company that reached out to me to share the tea love.
Andy from Plum Deluxe tea found my blog and noticed my love of all things tea. Imagine that. His company Plum Deluxe is a company that has my heart. Not only do they have wonderful teas they also have a great mission and they give back. Yes. You know that pulls at my heart strings.
Owner Andy Hayes wrote and shared a bit about Plum Deluxe with me:
Hand-blended in small batches at our studio in Portland, Oregon, Plum Deluxe’s line of signature loose leaf teas will help you to slow down for a mindful moment and enjoy the luxurious feeling of a premium tea, perfect for a warm exchange with friends and family or a few quiet minutes of solitude, reflecting on the good life. All of our tea blends are organic, non-geo, and free of chemicals and sulfites – we support local and USA farmers wherever possible and have an active philanthropy program. I am the founder of Plum Deluxe; the company is a tribute to my mother, who lost a brave 6-year battle with breast cancer but never forgot to enjoy “the little things” in life.
Andy graciously sent me a wonderful assortment of teas and he picked the perfect ones. We talked about my Comments for a Cause and when I told him that this month the recipient would be The Little Free Library he knew exactly what tea blend to send me. 
Look at this lovely blend. Can’t you just smell it? I credit the Love and Gratitude that is mixed in with the black tea, rosebuds, lavender, and chamomile.
The Reading Nook Blend was the perfect mix of black tea with floral notes. The beautiful lavender and rosebuds graced the pot and the aroma was wafting through the room. Oh my goodness. This was THE perfect blend for me and I absolutely loved it. I am so happy that Andy picked this one especially for me.
The second tea that was sent was a lovely green called Easy to Be Green Tea. Now I am not always a green tea aficionado but this one was perfect. Sometimes I have the sense that green tea is too “grassy” but this one was a perfectly light blend of loveliness.
I enjoyed a cup outside on the front porch and wished I had brewed an entire pot. The good thing is that I have more that I can brew anytime I want to.
Just as impressive as the tea is the Playbook that comes with the tea. What a great way to enjoy the tea selections even more. Along with listings of the various teas that the company has to offer are also journaling pages and pages just for inspiration and reflection.
Andy shared with me some of the great things about Plum Deluxe including their Tea of the Month Club which I am officially going to sign up for as soon as this post goes live. How can I not? This is much more than a tea of the month club. It is a group of like minded folks who love tea and are supportive of one another as well.
Teas are available exclusively on our website, plumdeluxe.com/teashop. Our most popular offering is the tea of the month club – for only $10/month subscribers receive 1 oz of a custom seasonally-perfect artisan loose leaf tea made just for the club. Subscribers also enjoy access to a robust and supportive private tea lover’s community, tea-inspired recipes, discounts on extra teas and supplies, and other surprises. We host member meetups throughout the year, but several of our members host self-organized group events year-round. It’s a wonderful way to be supported and meet others in your local community, especially like-minded groups (book clubs, health and self improvement circle, knit night, etc.).
To sweeten the cup, so to speak, Andy has committed to donating $1 for every purchase of the Reading Nook Blend to The Little Free Library. He will also donate $2 for each tea subscription or tea gift that is purchased as a result of reading this blog post. I think he might also be offering free shipping to my readers as well. When you place an order and see the box “where did you hear about us?” just simply enter “Beth Ann’s Teapot Tuesday” and he will make sure to set aside the money for a donation. He promised to do this for 30 days from this post so every little bit will help.
So how wonderful is that? It is definitely a win win and I am thrilled to become a member of the Plum Deluxe family. Please make sure to follow them on their social media channels to keep up to date.
It is so exciting when a company has similar values and visions, isn’t it? I love what this company stands for and am grateful to Andy for allowing me the opportunity to review some delightful teas.

Thanks Jeni! I love ❤️ this company!!!
Very sweet about the Reading Nook Blend! Good Morning, Beth Ann!
Good morning!!!! Perfect day for some Reading Nook Blend tea!!
The perfect pairing for two tea lovers.
It is! You know I don’t do many of these types of posts so the ones I do mean something to me. Thanks for stopping by!
This is a great post. I feel better already. Thanks. Hugs, my friend.
P.S. I went back and resubscribed to you. For some reason, I was not getting notifications. Today, I did! Remember when I was getting ones that were in Draft? Then nothing. I hoped it is fixed.
I have given up trying to figure out how things work or don’t work with the blog sometimes. Thanks for always being persistent and hanging around! I appreciate it!
Beth Ann, you are worth the “effort”. *wink* That is why I try to follow you on FB, too. Hugs.
Wow. My head might be getting big with all the praise. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Sounds like a cool guy, a great company and tasty tea! Winning, trifecta.
Trifecta indeed! Thank for stopping by!
I love Little Free Library! I hope your opening went well, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the tea <3
Thanks Carrie. The opening went great and yes—I love the tea! It is amazing and today looks like it will definitely be a couple pots of tea day already!
What a great tea company! Isn’t it nice when like minded folks find each other!! Both teas sound wonderful!
YES! It is!
What a wonderful tribute to his mother, and the tea looks beautiful. I’m always on the lookout for good loose tea!! I love that the company also has an interest towards philanthropy. And let’s talk about your little spoon!!! “pinkies out” LOVE it.
I was thrilled to meet him and for once I didn’ t just ignore the email. 🙂 I love that cup and spoon as well. I have two from that line –it is called Mud Pie and they have so many fun things with quirky and fun sayings . I have several other items from their line and have given them as gifts as well.
Really nice to see people from across the country helping and supporting each other!
It is! I was excited when Andy said he would chip in some $ to Little Free Library. Every little dollar will add up.
You are certainly a good one to review tea. Although I don’t drink hot tea, I have recently gone “cold turkey” off Diet Coke (yay, me!) and am drinking quite a bit of iced tea now.
Iced Tea is my go to in the summer most of the time. I know some of these will make fabulous iced tea as well. And yes–yea for getting off the diet coke if you needed to. 🙂
I love this brand! The tea is so delicious, and the mission equally tasty.
So glad that we both have had the chance to “meet” this great company and get to know their products.
can’t wait to see pictures of the grand opening! and now these teas are on my wish list!
Thanks. Janina! The Grand Opening was so great even if I did forget the ribbon for the ribbon cutting! 🙂
Plum Deluxe teas are the best loose leaf organic teas I’ve found anywhere! I’ve been a member for over two years now and think this is a wonderful collaboration with the Free Library! I like to read and enjoy a cup of hot tea or many of PD teas can be brewed as ice teas and are delicious either way! The two pair perfectly there’s nothing better than curling up with a book and a cup or glass of tea! Reading books is your life long continuing education without going to a school/ college!! Plum Deluxe tea flavors can be sweetened for ice tea or hot using their natural sweetners like flavored honey and flavored rock sugars as well they sell! If you’ve not taken some “ME” time in a while order a package or two of PD tea and get a book from The Free Library and settle in your favorite spot at home and curl up for a few hours and watch the stress go away and feel how renewed you feel after this time!! Destress yourself today! Reading a book and a cup a tea keep you smiling each day! ☕️📚
Anna, thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I love your enthusiasm and know that I am going to love being a part of the Plum Deluxe family as well. I signed up yesterday for the subscription and I can’t wait to “meet” some of you . Thanks again!
