DavidsTea Last Chance/Discontinued Blends

Hi Everyone,

I’ve emailed DavidsTea because their communication on what is going to be discontinued/what is not has been less that great. I finally got a full list today (some are not even in the last chance section of the website?) so I thought I would pass it on before more blends disappear without notice. Some of these are already gone.

Thanks for sharing and doing the legwork on that one. I’m sure a bunch of folks will appreciate this.

You’re welcome Sil! I can’t believe how poor their communication has been on this. The list they gave last week/the one on the website now do not match this entirely. I wish they had just come out and said they were getting rid of all of these a month ago instead of keeping it a mystery…

Too bad! I really wanted to try root beer float :(

I’d suggest trying Simpson & Vail’s if you can manage to get ahold of some :)

Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Ordered the root beer, plus a few others.. I CAN’T CONTROL MYSELF! Excited to try Simpson & Vail’s for the first time.

Kittenna and I had some good first experiences with S&V. I’m pretty sure both of us are looking to order them again. Their rootbeer tea smells exactly like rootbeer! So much so that I haven’t gotten around to trying it yet cause of the weird “hot root beer” thought in my head haha

Small
Kittenna said 2013-02-09 18:59:54 -0500

Yay, I’m glad to hear!! The rootbeer tea is the best one I’ve tried yet, so much so that yeah, I think I may drink the rest of mine iced, because hot rootbeer is just mind-boggling.

I just got the package. You weren’t kidding, the root beer scent is insane. I’m currently trying to convince myself that it will be ok to brew it hot since I can’t easily make it iced at work.

Sil said 2013-02-11 13:15:53 -0500

Hahaha yeah. I have some cold brewing to see how that tastes but how wasn’t that odd….just a bit :)

noooooooooo :( now I am sad I swapped out my full bag of Southern Belle. And no more Banana Nut Bread :(

Boo! I love banana nut bread. And really wanted to try carrot cake :(

Wow, I would have loved to know about Northern Lights before I ordered…

They also left off a bunch of the ones you can still actually get in that last chance section.

i have a big tin of northern lights, i’d be willing to swap some with you if you want, cause i probably won’t be able to finish it!

It’s really sad to see Northern Lights go, it’s an amazing blend…

BUT!

You can make it yourself pretty easily. I buy Turkish Apple from Upton, and mix it with Peppermint, Raspberry Leaf, and Juniper Berries that I bought from Mountain Rose Herbs. Just as good… plus you can play around with it. Teensy bit of cinnamon… nummy.

Boo about the Southern Belle, I love that one. And Root Beer Float. And isn’t Mom’s Apple Pie one, too? I don’t see it on your list, but it was in the “last chance” section…

Too bad gift cards STILL DON’T WORK ON THEIR WEBSITE. Or, you know, I’d buy some.

Sweet Canadian said 2013-02-04 18:04:53 -0500

I’m sure the ones in the last chance section are also included with this list. They seem to be really bad at keeping their communication consistent.

I’m gonna miss Strawberry Rhubarb crumble – I love that one, but I don’t wanna drop the money for more.

I love this one too :(

I was going to put spring white pearls on my first David’s order

Small
Daniel Scott said 2013-02-05 02:39:27 -0500

They were pretty underwhelming, IMO. Whites and greens are typically not DT’s strong suit.
