Winter Fire from Butiki Teas
78

WOWZA! This is HOT HOT HOT! WHOA!

It smells like peas, cinnamon, and hot peppers. It tastes like Pepper, hot chili peppers, and fireballs!

BUT…you know what? I like it…it’s different especially for a Guayusa and I think this would be a great assist for those with scratchy throats! I might try cooking with this…white rice sounds like it would fit!

This review made me laugh. My husband and I do spicy foods to the extreme. At this point we both really have no idea what is considered hot. We thought this was a very mild spicy. I had even contemplated making it a bit spicier. It is fantastic for stuffed sinuses but I don’t recommend deeply smelling the dried leaves unless you want to be sneezing & crying. I’ve been drinking it nonstop since my allergies are pretty rough right now. I love it with a little bit of sugar since it tastes like a red hot candy. If you end up cooking with it let me know, I’d love use this tea in a recipe.

This sounds mighty interesting. I have a dessert wine called hot cin that sounds like this tea but in wine form, minus the peas. Might have to crack that open tonight!

Stacy – I LOVE hot foods! With tea I usually do a double shot (twice the loose leaf) with this one – it isn’t needed! LOL This is bold and buff the way it is!!!

Bold and buff, ha ha. I love it. I’m drinking some winter fire guayusa right now. I really am digging guayusa it really does keeps me focused. Btw, rereading your post about cooking with tea for some reason just gave me a new idea for a new blend.

So, I’m not sure if this would work but I was thinking a tangerine genmaicha with goji berries and sunflower seeds. I was thinking about making my favorite cereal (I make my own cereals sometimes, I know that sounds weird) when I was reading your post and the word “cooking” made me think, hey this cereal could be a good tea. Sometimes one word just triggers a new idea for tea.

Certainly something I would try! :) Sounds neat!
