Tasting Notes: smoke, spice, chili pepper

Description:  Hot, spicy, and smoky!  A balance of black tea, smoke, spice, and chili peppers. This palate cleansing tea is a limited edition tea that is lovely to sip while sitting beside a roaring fire. A smokey tea with warm chai spice and lingering chili pepper notes. A cozy tea to warm you up. 

In this robust tea, the initial bold smoke flavor is balanced with warm chai spices and a finish of spicy chili pepper.  If you'd like to increase the chili pepper taste, break up the whole chili peppers into smaller pieces. This will spread and increase the spicy chili pepper notes throughout the tea.

Consider our smoky blends: Bonfire Chai for a medium smoke and chili pepper kick, Campfire Tea for a bold smoky and spiced experience with notes of hazelnut, or Log Cabin Tea for a light smoke and maple spiced taste.
