Why has the price of the decaf version of the Paradise tea risen to such a ridiculous price----i have bought it for years, starting at Trader Joes for around $2---then at Amazon at a reasonable price

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... The manufacturer did NOT discontinue the decaf blend.

It is usually about $7 for a pkg of 5-6 packets, that depends on flavor for some reason. Just be careful, I was taken advantage by one seller who added more in postage to overnight the coffee than the coffee was worth. AND I never asked for overnight service.

I also bought it for $14.99 with prime. As much as I love timmies coffee, I think $30 is expensive and I would not have bought it at that price.

Yep -- Amazon has done this to me twice now -- I am a long time customer of this cat food -- however, I'm simply NOT paying $32+ dollars for a case when it used to be $23.40 a case. I didn't reorder the first time they did this (about a year ago I think) until the price dropped down again, and I'm not ordering again this time until it goes back down. Nearly a 10 dollar increase from one month/order to another is unjustified and I'm not supporting it. I've now changed my cats over to a different premium quality grain free cat food and at this point, I doubt I'll go back to Wellness. It's just too unpredictable and frankly overpriced.

I can't remember what I paid but it wasn't $ 73 for sure .( For Example) after the winter where everyone is making there beginning of the year resolution to loose weight all the fitness equipment goes up and the weight products also rise. I would wait and put it in your wish list and it will notify you when the price has dropped. It is one of the best oils I have tasted and it has a great flavor. I hope this helps have a great day .

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

I had this in my shopping cart this week at $54 and two days later it just jumped again to $70.00 <<< rather crazy? Costco sells this so I will start buying local

I stopped at my Local Tim Horton's last night to purchase a can of coffee. Their prices have gone up to $16.99 a can! I love this coffee but will look for an alternative. Coffee prices are getting out of control!

I noticed this too. Mine changed while it was in my cart. Glad I double checked! Over $8/box is ridiculous!

I think you're confused because the item is an add on...which means with their program, you have to add on $35 worth of their "add on" products to get the free shipping as advertised. If you try and just buy this tea alone...then of course you have to pay extra for shipping!

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

Hi Jenny, The prices fluctuate up OR down due to market forces. Actually now the price of coffee rose, so prices at this time may be a little higher.

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

Sadly, I had noticed the change in pricing also. So when I compared it to what i can find on the local supermarket shelf it is just shy of $7 per box. Where are people finding it for under 4?

I purchased this for $16.00 in mid 2014. I can't believe that it's DOUBLED IN PRICE. Now it's cheaper to buy it over at Puritan's Pride, since at least they always have free shipping. It's currently at $29.95/bottle, so it's about $5.00 less expensive than here at Amazon. WTF? There's no excuse to double the price.

According to camelcamelcamel, the price was steady around 24 dollars since May but at 32.28, this is the highest it's ever been! Hopefully it goes back down in price or I'll have to try a different flavor which seems to not have changed price.

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.
