Is this the original Paradise tea, im so confused with this packaging. I was told it's the loose tea but this doesn't look like it at all? Help!

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

I think that is the commercial version (same tea) When Smukers took over Paradise Tea the immediately discontinued the retail version!They also own that rotten Lipton tea!I called Smukers and they give you a song and a dance (it's obvious that the receptionist have never even tasted Paradise tea. Thank you corporate America for giving us garbage and making sure that garbage is our only choice!

This is loose tea, I love it! I brew 2 scoops (T) to a half gallon mason jar. Addicted to ice tea, this is like Cheescake Factory ice tea.

It is the original paradise tea, but it's in restaurant sized bags. We like to use one bag to brew almost a gallon, but I've heard of people using more or less water depending on your strength preference. It's not loose tea, although I'm sure you can just cut the bags open if you'd like

Yes, this is the original Paradise Tea, and the product photos exactly represents the product (I took the photo, in fact). Smuckers did recently change the logo, but NOT the tea.The product is only available in two sizes now: 1oz filter packs (this item), and 3oz loose tea (www.amazon.com/Paradise-Tropical-Original-3-Ounce-Pack/dp/B001228PPC/).The smaller retail filter packs (in little yellow boxes) were discontinued over 2 years ago.If you have any more questions, let us know.

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

Same manufacturer, formula, flavor, etc. However, the filter packs you purchased at Trader Joe's were discontinued in 2012... they came in little yellow boxes, 4 pouches per box... each pouch used to brew a 48oz pitcher.The same tea is now only available in 1-ounce filter packs, or 3-ounce LOOSE tea packs.Here's the link to the filter packs (choose flavor):Paradise Tropical Tea, Decaffeinated Superior Tea, 1-Ounce Filter Packs (Pack of 50)

All it says on the tin is natural and artificial flavors. As in most teas, it is not very specific. Sorry!!!

Good question. While we all should store our tea in dark places or dark containers, I am honestly not troubled by the transparent packaging. Indeed, I like it! Here's why. You can see right away that the contents (here) have nothing but TEA leaves. Not twigs. Not a lot of dust. Just chock full of tea! In contrast, it's so annoying when you open a container or package of tea, only to find your purchase full of extra stuff - other than just tea leaves. So while some have complained about the packaging, I am delighted with the clear plastic it comes in. Also with the contents, I might add. Good question.

this may be normal as I am unable to smell your packet for myself I can not be 100% sure. Its normal to have a perfume to this tea as the tea is batched & bagged well to seal in the normal tea scent. It can have a little more of a floral scent than the english breakfast due to the fact the english is a blend of tea from more than a single country. Also the larger leaf size will retain more scent & flavor. Suggest you make a couple of batches of fresh tea. Also put some aside in another container to see if smell moderates. If this does not please you suggest you contact Davidsons with the details on the package to see if any problem with this particular batch. this may be normal as I am unable to smell your packet for myself I can not be 100% sure.

Sean, my honeyburst Plustop Pro looks like the one on the sweet water site. More dark around the edges than what you see on this Amazon link. I don't think the picture is right. What that looks like is the Iced Tea finish.

I wish I could tell you but their packaging doesn't have any information. Their website doesn't either but it must be a good bit compared to their other flavored teas as it appears near the top of the list on this page: http://www.stashtea.com/caffeinated-Shop-by-Caffeine-Tea/b/2858853011

I like it much better than the Lipton teas, but that will be a personal opinion that may or may not be the same in your case. Its like trying to compare two different wines. They may be the same variety, but there can be a huge difference in taste. This one has become a staple in our house.

i didn't realize they changed their formula. i did notice a slight flavor change in the mocha flavor. if it's back to the original. i'd give it another chance. the vanilla is my favorite. as to i similar product, i've not come across one, but the organic natural grocery stores might have something. jw

I agree with Anastasia. I like this flavor of cocoa. Of course it's not going to be deluxe gourmet with fresh chocolate shavings and whip. BUT for a quickie Keurig hot cocoa, it's pretty dang good. It's like getting the Swiss Miss or other hot cocoa packets at the market. It's just in a pod form. If you don't like, return it. Or chalk it up to experience!

From what I have read, it is a collection of several types of tea, all black teas, and usually any English black tea comes from India. My question is where did you get this? I have been looking for it myself. I have used it for a few years, but now I can't find it, other than Davidson's English Breakfast bulk tea which costs over $100 and is in the garden center.

We keep all our tea bags in our box . don't know if loose tea would work. Try a small batch to see if it works. I think it would.
