Cinnamon Plum Season

It's about that time where we begin the transition from drinking lighter, spring harvested teas like Silver Needle, to dark and rich blacks, pu-erhs and herbal blends like our delicious Organic Cinnamon Plum. During the cooler months fall and frigid months of winter (we're in Wisconsin!), a hot cup of sweet, succulent and soothing Cinnamon Plum is enough to warm both your body and spirits.

Cinnamon Plum began as a limited, seasonal offering and a partnership with Clean Water Fund (we've donated over $10,000 to CWF) and has become a mainstay over the last three years, having won First Place for Best Blended Herbal at the 2009 World Tea Championship. Like our fans, friends and customers, we cannot get enough of this tea. That's why we decided to add Cinnamon Plum to our Retail Collection in early December, making it available in retail stores year-round. In the meantime, find Cinnamon Plum online and in a gift set and feel great knowing that for the third consecutive year, 25% of the profits are donated to Clean Water Fund (from October through March) in support of their efforts to protect and restore our country's waters. After all, tea will only be as good as the water used to brew it.

Rishi Tea & Clean Water Fund Team Up

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 in 2008 for the launch of our seasonal blend, Organic Cinnamon Plum. Thanks to its popularity and success (it won First Place for the herbal tea category at the 2009 World Tea Championship), we brought it back this year along with our partnership with Clean Water Fund.

For the second year, 25% of the profits of each sale will benefit 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 in 2008, we were able to donate over $4,200 to Clean Water Fund! We hope to double that amount this year!

Cinnamon Plum is available in a tin (3.7 oz), a pound, and gift set.
