Painted Desert: Chocolate Chili Black Tea

$27.49
Size

Tastes Like: dried pasilla chili, mexican cinnamon, cacao
Feels Like: a sedona sunset

Chai lovers and spice lovers will flip for this spicy black tea with New Mexican flavor. Tart tannins jump across the tongue in the first sip. Sweet cinnamon, smoky chili, and salty chocolate notes rise and fall with the steadiness of a piano scale. We recommend milk for a rich and spicy morning tea. If Mexican hot chocolate was a tea, this would be it.

So gross! Smells and tastes like cinnamon water. No other scents or flavors other than cinnamon... waste of money even if you love cinnamon as you could just boil cinnamon sticks if you wanted to drink something that smells and tastes like this.

So much Flavor!

This combination of black tea, chocolate and chili is so rich and well balanced. It could be a marvelous winter warm by the fire tea but I can drink this year round. It’s a keeper!
