Plum Black Tea - WS
Plum Black Tea - WS
Once a taste associated primarily with the holidays (.. sugarplum fairies dancing in our heads..) plums are now enjoyed year round. Their sweet, tart taste is refreshing and delicious. This black tea blend brews to a deep amber cup with a heady aroma reminiscent of butter and marshmallows. The taste is smooth with a touch of sweetness and a creamy finish.
Ingredients: black teas, plum flavoring and cornflowers.
Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

The tea is very good, dont get me wrong. Very similar to many of the SV flavored teas Ive tried. This plum flavor just wasnt quite strong enough for me. If I didnt 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. Its pleasantly plummy without becoming wine-y, which I dont 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!
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.
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!
