They can even snarl at you while running! And the claws! You don't have to be too smart to know how to use those things.įor all your tea drinkers out there, here is a freebie you might enjoy. Long story short, we may be smarter, but geez can they run fast. It's all fun and games until you start to think you're smarter than the average bear. However, I'm not sure if it was because the tea tasted great or because it gave me the perfect excuse to walk around talking like Yogi Bear and repeatedly saying “pic-a-nic basket.” I really enjoyed the previous free Yogi tea sample that I received. They're inexpensive, lightweight to ship, and taste delicious!īelow you'll find some of the older jokes for all the various tea samples we've found over the years! You have my promise that everything we make is blended with love, positive intentions, and so much gratitude for you, our Plum Deluxe customer.Free tea samples have been around forever.


We are a small, specialized, family-owned-and-operated business.

Only the best teas are hand-blended in larger batches for our Plum Deluxe customers. Teas that pass muster often go out to a small group of "tea testers" for further evaluation. Next, I steep, sip, review, adjust, repeat. Examples of this can be seen in our limited-edition Portland Rose City Chai and the best-selling Oregon Breakfast Black Tea. Using ingredients from around the world, our flavors are often informed by our love for the Pacific Northwest. I draw upon my intuition and years of experience to blend up 2 or 3 different "test teas." I start with an intention in mind - a great tea to sip while reading a book, the perfect tea for cheering on a holiday celebration, an ideal tea for serving after a big meal. While you may be envisioning lab coats and a giant factory with stacks of ingredients and curious equipment, the Plum Deluxe studio in Portland, Oregon is decidedly more low-key. Please allow me to walk you through the process I use to create the unique tea blends you'll discover being a Plum Deluxe tea drinker. I'm Andy Hayes, founder of Plum Deluxe and chief tea maker.
