Pretty Good; needs more plum |
3/29/2021 |
| The tea is very good, don’t get me wrong. Very similar to many of the SV flavored teas I’ve tried. This plum flavor just wasn’t quite strong enough for me. If I didn’t know the title of the Tea, not sure I would have been able to identify the subtle flavor. |

| I love this tea with some of the Violet Rose tea mixed in. I can drink it all day. It’s pleasantly plummy without becoming ‘wine-y’, which I don’t like in a tea. |

| This tea and the violet tea were the main reasons for my original order with Simpson and Vail, and I love them both.
Plum is one of my favorite fruits, and I love this tea. In addition to the plum, the tea has a vanilla/cream note as well. I highly recommend this tea! |

Plum Black tea |
3/10/2019 |
| I wasn’t sure what to expect from this tea. I’ve enjoyed the majority of the flavored black teas I’ve tried from Simpson and Vail. I thought I’d try some new teas and this sounded different. The smell is divine and the taste is a very smooth somewhat sweet tea. I had it hot but I bet it would be fantastic iced. It won’t replace my favorite almond sugar cookie but I can easily see myself reaching for this when I want something different. |

Sugar Plum |

| Now this is a plum tea! The fragrance coming from the dry leaves is so delightful. It's like sugary plum candies. The resulting cup is pretty plum like to me. When brewed it ends up being a smooth cup that isn't overly sweet, but can be made so much more indulgent with a dash of cream and honey. |

Perfect Plum |

| When I opened the bag, the fragrance that wafted out was almost like a white chocolate. The blue cornflower petals peeked brightly through the black tea leaves. The resulting brew was absolutely a straightforward and scrumptious blend of fine black tea and a succulent ripe plum. What a treat! |

| The smell and taste are wonderful. It reminds me of something from my childhood that I just cant put my finger on. |

Fruity but not overpowering, perfect hint of sweetness |

| This tea is truly scrumptious. It's fruity and well-balanced, and it smells like baked goods in a cup. I was a bit worried about the floral notes, since that's not my favorite component in a tea, but it blends really well here, resulting in a lightly flavored, well-rounded cup of tea. I actually drank the tea right after eating a plum, just to test the claims that it's not "plummy" enough...and I have to say, while they don't taste identical (buy juice if that's what you want!), the similarities are there and strong. I sweetened the tea to make it just a little more dessert-like and I found it to be the perfect, flavorful cup. |

Not the best plum tea I've tried, but DELICIOUS anyway! |

| I was deliberating buying this one because of the mixed reviews. But I love plum so had to give it a try. It turns out I LOVE it. Who said this didn't have any flavor? I think it's delicious! Maybe not 100% accurate of a juicy sweet ripe plum, but there is plenty unique flavor here to love: definitely fruity with undertones of a lovely floral. The black tea is great with the flavor. Two delicious steeps with lots of flavor! I've tried better plum teas but this is great stuff. I never lose with S&V teas.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 10 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep |

| This is a very mild black tea. I get no plum flavor at all. Very disappointing. |

| I mix dragonwell and plum black tea, half of each. I have drunk this tea almost every morning for years. I love it. You should try it. I even brew it twice in my infuser. |

| The plum flavor is fairly weak, but I still enjoy drinking it. It is smooth and a cup a frequently enjoy to drink. I highly recommend it. |
