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.

    A surprising WOW

    I am NOT a spicy food person (pepper is an exotic spice in my world), yet I found I really, really enjoyed that little bit of "kick" from the pepper in this tea.

    Bought it for the chocolate, keeping it for the kick (and the chocolate...of course!).

    Bold Tea with a bit of a bite

    A nice bold tea that packs a lot of flavor and you can get more than 1 cup out of each tbspn. The chili is a bit stronger than I normally like, but overall a nice cold evening tea.

    Smooth, alert with a kick

    This might be the best tea for waking up when you have to get to it. Robust black tea with a decisive kick of chocolate chili. Sweet. Spicy. Never dull.

    A tastebud wakeup!

    Was not expecting the peppery sensation. Maybe I just wasn't quite awake yet...I mean, chili is right there in the name. Looking forward to experimenting with this tea!
