Oh my! Spicy is right!
mmm I love it though. My favourite part is the black pepper taste, more than the tellicherry pepper. This is by far the most peppery chai I have ever had! I want to try it with chocolate milk, but right now it’s starting my day (and clearing my sinuses) with milk and honey – paired with my creamy maple syrup rice pudding.

A good way to start the day before work takes over at 12:30! We’re only allowed water bottles at work, but everyone else sneaks in redbull, so I will find a way to drink my tea!

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending this my way! It’s spicy goodness – I LOVE IT

I brewed this today but there were too many cardamom’s in my mix and it was overwhelming. Milk and sugar couldn’t save it so I’ll have to try again later. :|

An awesome chai. Spicy, peppery, and delightful. Perfect for latte and also quite good with just a dollop of honey.

This would be the perfect tea for those who are feeling under the weather – it will clear the head in no time!

Enjoying a cup of this chai today – sans milk. It’s really spicy and delicious. YUM!

This tea is intense.

I should let you know that I enjoy spicy food to a degree that is likely unhealthy. My enjoyment of this tea hits the same pleasure centers as tastebud-abusing Thai and Indian food.

The name of this tea begins with “Spicy”, and the description says “Our spiciest chai”. They do not kid. The Tellicherry pepper is apparent, intense, and SPICY.

If you make it past the rich peppery bite (as your tastebuds admit defeat), the ginger and clove become more apparent, with just a hint of cardamom lingering in the background.

This tea will wake you up with a start, clear your sinuses, and probably sterilize the back of your throat. It will also accompany you to work tomorrow, because your fiance won’t ever drink it again.

And by you, I mean me.

Sure…this smells like a spicy chai but the aroma is fairly even compared to the taste! WOW!!!! These spices are INTENSE! As many of you know…I drink all of my teas plain even chai but this one I might have to tinker with…add a little something…it’s STRONG! But for rating sake it does live up to it’s name and product description to a “T”. It’s a little too spicy for me by itself but it’s top quality and I think spicy chai fans will dig it. I will tinker with this one before rating…

SPICY is RIGHT! I’m now ready to give this a rating. I had forgotten to revisit and rate after my last experience. This is INTENSE. Spicy and really peppery. It lives up to it’s name. See previous notes. Overall – a nice spicy chai tea that lives up to it’s name.

I enjoy chais for the variety of flavors presented to me in each sip.
This brews up a rich dark brown color, darker than most I’ve tried recently.
The aroma while brewing speaks to me of clove and cardamom.
With my first sip, I’m overwhelmed by pepper. I did notice clove and cardamom after the tea had cooled some though.
