Azteca Fire

Backlogging on this one: I bought this in my Christmas tea spree. I don’t usually drink a lot of herbals besides peppermint. I like this one. When I have had it I have not gotten the Chili Pepper much but I like the combo of the Strawberry and Chocolate in it.

I love this herbal tea, it smell so good. Very good after the diner.

Vraiment mon genre de thé (en fait plus une tisane) le goût est unique et ça sent très très bon. Il faut aimer le chocolat et il y a un petit goût piquant qui complète bien cette tisane.

All the flavors come through at varying strengths. First chocolate, then chili and then a mild reminder of the fruit in it. I first prepared this in water and it looked kind of gross but tasted alright. I would recommend this highly in milk, it makes the chocolate and chili flavors shine in a more fulfilling way.

I like this tea blended with Sour Cherry Serenade. Alone I didn’t taste much strawberry, but blended the cherry really pops and you get a chocolate covered cherry with a chile burn. This blend had noticeable flavor but wasn’t remarkable enough for me. Make sure the water is hot enough so the chocolate peices melt!

I just want to note that while I haven’t brewed any of this yet (and probably won’t for a couple of days), this arrived this afternoon—and as I was putting it into a tin, all I could think is that it looks and smells like something that would be put out in bowls as bar snacks at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Santa Fe, something I’d eat way too much of as we set out on an unforgettable night of tequila shots and tattoos.

I can never really taste the chilli in this but it’s still an awesome chocolate tea. I drink it with Matevana, and it’s like hot chocolate!

I want to love this tea. On paper it sounds like I would. On paper, it is perfect. In execution? Not so much. This certainly does taste like hot chocolate made with water, that said, made with too much water. It’s such a shame because it smells DIVINE. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s best to just exchange the tea for something I know I like or to find another use for it. I’ll probably end up doing the former.

I get chocolate mixed with fruit from this tea. There is almost no spiciness at all, which was a big disappointment. With a little bit of milk I could see this coming out like fruity hot chocolate. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is for you. If you’re hoping for some spicy chocolate tea, look somewhere else.

I did add a packet of splenda to about 12 oz of brewed tea, since I generally do not like chocolate teas unsweetened, which is how I usually like my tea. Perhaps that was my mistake.

sweet watered-down chocolate cover strawberries

Sooo disappointed! One of my favorite comfort drinks growing up was mexican cocoa and I was hoping this would be reminiscent of that. I think Teavana missed the mark with this tea big time. The smell is ok, it smells like chocolate covered raisins so a bit cloying but the taste is totally different. I tried this tea first by itself with no sweetener of any kind and frankly it tasted like dirty water with a dash of powdered hot chocolate mixed in. I think the biggest turn off was how oily this tea is; it seriously had a film of oil at the top! I did try this tea a second time doing half Azteca Fire and half Java Vana Mate and it was better but still not something I would ever crave. Will not be buying again.

I really wanted to try a spicy tea, sadly this one is not really that spicy it is however very good. Chocolate and fruit yumm.

I didn’t like this tea at all

I bought this tea at the Heavenly sale at Teavana this week, and made it for the first time tonight. The dry tea smells strongly like chocolate and fruit, and the brewed tea carries the same overwhelming chocolate smell. There isn’t enough spice to warrant “fire” in the name, in my opinion, as the spice only shows up minimally on the aftertaste. It’s a nice aftertaste, but it’s the only time you can taste the spice. It’s a good tea, but not a great one. I’m going to keep what I bought and I’ll definitely drink it, but I don’t think I would buy it again if Teavana started stocking it again.

By itself, it doesn’t seem complete as an overall flavor, thought sweet enough that added honey or sugar isn’t needed. However I find this tea is a GREAT flavor supplement to a strong assam or other black tea! The aroma is amazing too, fantastic chocolate scent with hints of that spice and strawberry behind it.

This tea is kind of Blah by itself, but it mixes well with other Teavana teas, especially the Wild Orange Blossom.

Pretty good. Reminds me of a Mexican hot chocolate. Though, most the time I’m in the mood for a chocolate fix I’d rather just have hot chocolate. This is like watered down hot chocolate with a little bit of a peppery kick.

Delightfully chocolatey with a tiny bit of kick. I love this as an evening tea, since it’s caffeine free. It’s a good replacement for dessert, and also blends pretty well with other teas and interestingly with coffee.

Chocolate and Chili… need I say more? This is my favorite tea. I love the spicy kick! Perfect tea if you are trying to avoid the sweets :-)

I would have to say this tea is very dull, no taste to it.
For me it is just hot water Im drinking, you have to use a LOT!!! to get something out of it, no chocolate, no pepper, NOTHING…… so don´t spend your money on it.
It really tastes like warm maple syrup, without the pancakes… :-(

I’ve been feeling under the weather and looking for teas to help – Teavana touted this one as having a good dose of vitamin C, so here we are. I definitely don’t get much of the spiciness I was hoping for, but it’s a nice cup as it is, sort of a watered-down strawberry chocolate…not even tea, definitely an herbal blend. I like to make sure the water’s really hot and then really let it steep for awhile so the chocolate melts more, that pumps up the flavor.
