This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I'd been wanting to try this and was glad I did. It's good by itself, but is also good mixed with other flavors. So far my favorite mix was 1 bag of this, 1 bag of cherry, and 1 bag of plain black tea steeped in about 3 cups of water.

Just the right blend of comforting and bracing
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is FUN. It's got a little tang, just enough, and a lot of that gorgeous black-tea freshness and sass. Tending to prefer strong tea, I make a jug of this with about 14-15 tea bags and just let it steep for several hours. Unsweetened over ice, it makes a great morning wakeup, a good "sippin' whiskey" during the workday, and a lovely grace note after dinner.

Just lovely
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is one of my favorite morning drinks. I tried it because I love the Downton Abbey Bates' Tea so much and it's no longer available. The DA tea was just perfect, but this Cinnamon Plum is a close second. The sweet, fruity flavor of the plum is the primary flavor for me. Unfortunately, I don't really taste the cinnamon. Overall, it's a nice rich, robust, and slightly sweet black tea. I drink it hot with a little honey and milk. I think it would be lovely over ice as well. I like it so much that I will be buying a bulk order next time.

Plum Perfection!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

With its just right combination of subtle spice and juicy, ripe fruit, this alluringly aromatic tea is plum perfection!!! Especially warming on a cold winter's day, the not-overpowering black tea provides a gorgeous counterbalance to the festive flavors that are so reminiscent of the beloved Yuletide plum pudding. Although lacking in a distinct vanilla note, this tea is still a tasty treat for the tastebuds of those who wish to enjoy the suggestion of a time-honored Christmas tradition more than one day per year!!!!

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

The tea is good. Even if it wasn't, I would still buy it because of the environmental packaging. But some improvements are needed: 1) The can and round tea bags are great, but there must be a way to seal the can without the plastic ring. 2) Even if it means giving up profit, Republic of Tea should drop the capsules and sips - these are for eco-criminals only! 3) All that "wellness" and "beauty" and "metabolism" stuff is nonsense. Just stick to tasty tea.

Where's the flavor?
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I went all in and bought the bulk bag of this tea, since it was said to be the closest flavor to the discontinued Downton Abbey tea (Plum pudding which was amazing...!) well I brewed a few cups of this cinnamon plum and just didn't taste much other than a faint cinnamon flavor. I steeped it longer and tried less water but the flavor was just not there. I'm very grateful for ROT's generous return policy, as I just couldn't see trying to enjoy this flavorless year. I probably would have kept it, had the black tea be somewhat strong but it just tasted weak overall. I guess I'll stick with some of my other favs.

My new Winter favorite!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I had tried a sample of the "Downton Abbey Bates' tea" (different from the Bates' berry tea) but found their tea was discontinued, when I tried to order it. So I asked & was told by the Republic of Tea adviser the Cinnamon Plum was the closest. When you first open it, the strongest aroma is that of cinnamon, but once made, it is a much more evenly balanced set of flavors (including elderberry & sloeberry). It is a little like a "Russian tea" with nuances of cinnamon & clove and maybe a hint of citrus, but you taste the plum and the berries as well. The difference with the former Bates' tea is the lack of vanilla. i strongly advocate you try sweetening it with a French Vanilla (stevia). I did also find I preferred it with a touch of milk and it turns into a luscious sweet dessert = like a plum & berry pudding (but with almost calories). A GREAT option for diabetics - (who miss sugary desserts) or those giving them up to loose weight

Used to be a go-to
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I remember discovering Republic of Tea in college. I really loved the Vanilla Almond, Blackberry Sage, and Cinnamon Plum. I hadn't had any of the latter in a long time and something about it now send like it's changed over the years. It might just be me, but I remember this tea being more earthy and fuller bodied. This last batch was more floral and had stronger berry notes then the rich plum and spicy cinnamon flavors of the past. Although this is not one of my favorites anymore, thankfully there are several more that keep my cup filled with healthy and delicious tea!

Where's the plum?!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

This is like taking a bunch of cinnamon candies, putting them in hot water, and drinking it. That's all it tasted like to me. I was hoping for plum to be the star, with some cinnamon aftertones, but the plum is totally lost for me. So, great news if you love cinnamon and cinnamon candies! Bad news if your hoping for plum tea. Not re-purchasing. It was not what I expected at all!

My first purchase of tea from this company. Not so much spicey ,just a hint and the plum isn't over powering .it's just the right balance. I sweetened with a bit of stevia. Perfect!. Would recommend this to anyone to try. It would probably make an awesome iced tea too.

Cinnamon Plum tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Very tasty, I have ordered Cinnamon Plum a few times. Been a Republic of Tea drinker and gift giver for more years than I will admit. Do wish it came in decaf though. Part of the reason I purchased it was the special deal of spending a certain amount and not having to pay shipping since I live across the U.S. from Republic of Tea now.

All time favorite
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I don't drink coffee, but do love my tea's. The Cinnamon Plum is my all time favorite. I started out years ago drinking it when I could easily find it in stores. Now I order it by the large bag (250 tea bags) a couple of times a year. I've got two grandboys (young) who LOVES "Nonna's hot tea", and expect to have a cup with me whenever they come. I can drink it in the morning, or in the evening - plain, with some Sugar in the Raw, or with creamer - it depends on what mood I'm in. Very pleasing taste!
