Do you, like us, have one Trader Joe’s product that you just can’t live without? For some, it’s those delicious sheet cakes. For others, it’s the highly anticipated fall-favorite treats that only appear on shelves once a year. While some Trader Joe's goodies come back year after year, nothing hurts more than walking into your local store, only to discover that your favorite treat is gone—forever. That's what happened with its Unsweetened Black Tea and Sweetened Black Tea.

Trader Joe's Unsweetened Black Tea and Sweetened Black Tea Returns

It’s no easy feat trying to strike a balance between introducing new products and pulling certain items from the shelves. Back in 2023, when Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Black Tea and Sweetened Black Tea suddenly disappeared, fans were shocked. While some of its pulled products are strictly marketing decisions, the reason for TJ's black tea getting discontinued was pretty simple: due to supplier constraints.

If you were missing out on this item, then you're in luck. According to this Reddit post, the sweet beverages have recently been spotted on the Trader Joe’s website.

“The sweet tea is delicious,” one fan commented on the post. “My husband was devastated when it was discontinued, he would always pick up two gallons every time we went.”

Other Redditors replied that they had already spotted the teas in their local Trader Joe’s. The Unsweetened Black Tea and the Sweetened Black Tea both retail for $4.99. So the next time you are at TJ's, make sure you keep an eye out for this fan-favorite.
