Suggestions for Discontinued Teas
Discontinuing a tea is always tough - for us and for the customers who love that particular tea. The good side is that we replace the older teas with new, better teas that we think will be more popular. And this year’s new teas seem to be exceptionally good (if I do say so myself).
But right now we’re in that odd period where we are starting to discontinue some teas before we have new ones in stock. So I thought I would share the best replacement for that discontinued tea you just can’t live without. Here’s my take:
| Discontinued Tea: | Replacement Tea: |
|---|---|
| Green Tea Mojo | Green Tea Heaven |
| Jasmine Churshi Estate | Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea |
| Rose of Suzhou Blooming Tea | Blooming Tiger Blooming Tea |
| Rooibos Toffee Tea | Rooibos Haute Chocolate |
| Very Berry Herbal Tea | Sweet Fruit Garden Herbal Tea |
| Turkish Apple Tea | Peach Tranquility Herbal Tea |
| Keemun Imperial Black Tea | Golden Monkey Black Tea |
| Iron Buddha Oolong Tea | Monkey Picked Oolong Tea |
These were picked specifically based on taste. Some, like the last two, aren’t similar in terms of cost and there are other options available. However, your local Teavana store and our website still have a lot of these discontinued teas in stock, but the ones above in particular will be out soon.
Also, the new teas have better replacements, but they aren’t available yet. As soon as the new teas are released, I’ll add an updated list with closer substitutes for your favorite discontinued tea.
I know it’s tramatic: my favorite Darjeeling Margaret’s Hope is also going away. But I also know that the replacement is better, so I’m looking forward to the change. Hope you enjoy the new teas as much! And please let me know if there’s a specific discontinued tea that you would like a replacement for - we’re glad to offer suggestions and advice (just post the tea below).
I will miss you Rooibos Tofee…
