Tea will only be as good as the water used to prepare it. Recognizing the fundamental importance of clean water, not only for tea, but for our health and the well-being of our environment, we teamed up with Clean Water Fund. With every sale of Organic Cinnamon Plum, we donated 25% of the profits to Clean Water Fund’s efforts to protect and restore America’s waters. With the help of all those who purchased, gifted and drank our delicious limited seasonal blend, we were able to donate over $4,200 to Clean Water Fund! With all the great praise Organic Cinnamon Plum received, we just may bring it back again next year.
Organic Cinnamon Plum is rich with currants, succulent hibiscus, hints of plum and accented with notes of cinnamon and naturally sweet licorice root. Warm and soothing, Organic Cinnamon Plum is deliciously fruity and full-bodied with a deep red infusion. Perfect served hot, iced or brewed as mulled tea.

Recently, I’ve been doing a full-on Marie Kondo inspired cupboard clean out. Sold old teaware online and gave away a bunch of teas that didn’t “spark joy” anymore. In the process, I re-discovered teas that had been lost in clutter. Such was the case with this tisane which had been sitting in the back of my cupboard for over 5 years. I almost tossed it thinking it was probably stale but I’m glad I didn’t.
It brews up a beautiful, deep burgundy and the smell is reminiscent of another favorite tisane, Tim Horton’s Apple Cinnamon tea. The taste of this tea is warm cinnamon rolls followed by plum and then cranberries. Adding a touch of sweetener really enhances the flavor and brought out apple cider notes. I didn’t realize until later there was hibiscus in this blend as there’s no sourness. It just adds a gentle tartness to the tea.
I haven’t had the greatest luck with Rishi flavored teas but this is one of their better ones.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Cranberry, Plum
Ooh so inspiring! I really need to Marie Kondo my teaware collection LOL.
The downside of decluttering is the sudden urge to fill up those empty shelves with more teaware. The vicious cycle of hoarding and de-stashing ;-)
What does it mean to Marie Condo?
Marie Kondo is a Japanese organizing guru. Her name has recently become synonymous with decluttering and tidying up.
Okay, it’s from The Spice & Tea Exchange..had it switched lol.. and it also has currants and licorice root. Not apple. Oh well, they both sound good!
@TeaEarleGreyHot interesting, I wonder if Rishi is supplying to Spice & Tea Exchange or the other way around
It has been a long 7 day work week, and I as looking in my tea pantry for something with licorice root to combat my fatigue. This tea also has the caffeine free perk – the last thing I need is a crash! My first impression of the aroma reminded me of mulling spices – very cinnamon forward and almost verging on the gates of alcoholic. Do you remember those little cinnamon breath drops that come in the teardrop shaped plastic bottles? That’s kind of the aroma I gathered at first.
After I brewed it, the complexity of the plum and hibiscus came forward. The cup is stunning, a burgundy-purple color. The flavor was misleadingly tart, but the brightness of the plum is needed to counterbalance the spicy, tingly cinnamon. The aroma when brewed reminded me of Christmas. Warm, comforting and complex.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Hibiscus, Plum
Backlog:
A strong cinnamon-y scent. I also smell notes of licorice and hints of fruit. The fruit note is rather indistinct, it doesn’t necessarily smell of “plum” or “currants.” It just smells like fruit.
I’m glad it doesn’t taste too hibiscus-y. It tastes mostly of cinnamon: a sweet, warm cinnamon note. This isn’t overly tart. There is a balance between sweet and tart with warm notes and I enjoy that balance of flavors.
