I ordered the large decaf tropical tea sent from Smuckers; this is the second box. It does not tastethe same as previously ordered. Has it changed?

I don't know; hope not. I'll be ordering another box soon but I always order regular, not decaf but that shouldn't matter.

I have been ordering regular Paradise Tropical Tea for many years and I have not detected any change in flavor or strength. I cannot speak to the qualities or consistency of flavor of the decaf, however.

Sorry. I used the order. It was delicious. Check the store. The infro might be on the package.

I know this question's old, but I've ordered through Amazon three times and found quality control to be very inconsistent. The first was great, as it should be; the next two were as you described, plasticy. I could hardly smell in tea in the second variety, except that it smelled bad. The tea in the second variety also didn't steep properly, as the tea would sink to the bottom (similar to how oil divides from water) until I stirred the cup. I'm a frequent (weekly or more) Amazon shopper, but this is one product I will no longer buy off Amazon.

Yes, My box which I purchased a few months ago states good thru Nov 6th 2015, by the way, this tea is the BOMB!

The packaging was in a transition period until recently. All the product (if you buy from us - we get this in fresh weekly) should have the new packaging as pictures. This would be the new paradise tea brand logo, printed in green, with the word DECAFFEINATED imprinted.

HEY Alsunusi! You know it's funny you ask that because, the first box I used and "FELL IN LOVE WITH" was the white box with I believe blue writing. The second box was the brown box, and it was horrible!!!! So, perhaps there is something to that. It's too late to call customer service at Phytospecific, but I will tomorrow and find out if there is a difference and what that difference is. Hopefully they have not reformulated the product or anything dumb like that. Thanks for asking!Eve

Click has decaf Mocha now, if you haven't seen it between when you posted this and now. I hope I helped.

Yes. I thought I was ordering just one box of 100 tea bags, but instead I ordered 5 boxes of 100 tea bags each. We still have a lot l left, needless to say. The tea is ok. I think I got spoiled by some loose leaf organic green tea I got from some company I can't find anymore. Pooh.

I know the ingredients and taste have changed. I do not have the new ones available, but I'm sure you can do an internet search. Just make sure you are looking at the smaller newer canister. Hope this helps.

I'm gonna say no. I can't say for certain because I drank them daily and then stopped for years and then ordered a case again off Amazon and it tastes as good as I remember it. Any change in flavor I think was strictly psychological and nothing to do with the ingredients. But that's just my opinion.

Yes it is the same. I have been ordering this tea for years and this is the original, just in larger packets. Enjoy!

The manufacturer did NOT discontinue the decaf blend. They did, however, discontinue ALL of the "retail-pack" items... The retail size were little yellow boxes with 4 small filter packs inside (each filter pack was 0.33oz). The 1oz filter packs (box of 50) you see here was always available, but was typically purchased by restaurants and the like (and tea addicts). At Coffee Wholesale USA, we have been selling Paradise tea since 1999, and have fielded many similar questions. Long story short, the reason it appears to be expensive is because it's not the pack size you're used to seeing. Actually, when you figure it out as $ per ounce, the 50/1oz pack size has always been less expensive...

From what I understand the supplier was changed. I believe the product I have was from before that and since I am a new user of stevia I cannot give an accurate comparison. Some of my friends say they like the KAL brand and the NOW brand, I have not tried either.

How did the exchange go? Did the replacement smell bad or was it good? FYI I haven't had a problem with the smell of this tea.

I bought the old style 8 pack on 09/20/14. When I wanted it again last Friday, I just clicked on "Buy it again". It showed the same (orange) packets. When it arrived yesterday, it had a "new look" and the formula has been changed. Now I have 8 boxes of some of the foulest tasting coffee I've ever had. There is no Hazelnut flavor at all. If you are going to show the old packaging to sell it, you should deliver the old product. I will never buy Tasters Choice again, or probably any food product from Amazon.

I don't believe that you'd received a stale box of tea from the company. Have you even tasted the tea ? My box doesn't smell like fresh grass either. If your having trouble with the taste / smell what I do is place another flavored bag of tea in along side of the Oolong tea. You can also add some honey lemon or booze to perk up your tea drink. Its dealers choice for your own satisfaction. Be creative and enjoy :-)

Since I last purchased this, the label has changed to add the word "drink." Sooooo I'm not sure if they changed the product. What I suggest is that you contact Warren Laboratories LLC at http://georgesaloe.com/contact.htm (they have an email address) to have your question answered.
