I appreciate your purging all of your older and less popular teas , while introducing us to a new array of fresh, and exciting new tastes. I have never had a bad cup of Teavana tea, so what’s there not to love about being offered even more wonderful teas to choose from? Thanks again for taking care of this loyal 72 year old tea aficiondo just waiting for her next sip from Teavan Heaven. Yours truly, Jerrie Dodd, Henderson, Nevada

I am shocked and very upset to see the following on the list:
cloud 9
pacific sunrise
raspberry black (which I mixed every morning with matevana and vanilla coffee creamer! Yum! I will miss that!!!)

I LOVE Mrs. Earl Gray. I wrote the company. How could it possibly be gone?! I know its popular because sometimes when I am at a store its sold out and I can’t get it. I really wish I had heard sooner they were getting rid of it and I would have stocked up. I am soooo sad! I drink it every morning and always look forward to it…

Jen: Oddly the sweet amore rooibos tea has an apple cider taste to me. It’s good if you aren’t looking for something chai. Hope it helps at least a little bit.

My only SUPER disappointment on the discontinued list is the Mrs Earl Grey. I am still trying to come to grips with not being able to buy it anymore. I have a VERY hard time believing that is not a popular tea. That is my far my most favorite tea.

Will there be some new flavors that are fall-like (i.e cinnamony and spicy)??

I LOVE the sweet oolong revolution and the white chai..delicious!

I don’t really get the whole phasing out of teas. What is it based on? It seems like if a tea doesn’t sell well, it makes sense to replace it, but clearly there are some beloved teas on this list. And if there is a closely comparable “suggested alternative” why phase out the tea at all? And why do them all at once.

I’m disappointed that 3 teas that I drink on a daily basis (mandarin orange green, lemon green, and ginger peach apricot) have been phased out and no suggested alternative is yet listed.

I’m generally open to change and like to wait and see how things work out but this is really annoying. Seriously, I’m rethinking my tea purchases right now. Like, where else can I buy high quality tea that I can depend on?

Lucy – you say “don’t worry” but what about those of us long-time followers who still haven’t found replacements for old favorites that sadly disappeared?! For instance, Empress of China. I cannot express how unique that tea was and how difficult it has been to find anything that has come anywhere close! I really appreciate this substitutions chart here but considering that in the past others haven’t been replaced, I’m worried.
