Azteca Fire

Fruit Herbal Blend by Teavana

Everyone’s favorite blend of chocolate and strawberries with a kick. This modern take on the ancient tradition of blending chili peppers with cacao stands the test of time. A spicy refreshment any time of day.

How to Prepare
Use 1.5 teaspoons of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 208 degrees and steep tea for 5-6 minutes. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Crushed cocoa, apple, strawberry, chocolate pieces, safflowers and crushed red chili pods.

This blend tastes like hot chocolate – but drink it fast because if it even begins to cool in the slightest it does not taste good at all. It doesn’t taste like tea, really tastes like a strong hot chocolate.

A strawberry, chocolate, and chile tisane is a wild idea, no doubt, but there is one problem. To get a decent taste you have to use a great deal of the product. An ordinary amount produces a tepid flavor. This is really a treasure of a beverage if you don’t mind the expense. This cup is great any time of day, and during all four seasons.

The best blend I’ve bought from Teavana. I do always feel that the teas in Teavana are a little weak, or missing a little flavor but this one was rich. Like a hot and latin Tootsie Roll. I miss it!!

Somewhat bland but when you add peppermint- hmm.. and spicy.. just wish it were more chocolatey

Not as chocolatey as I would have liked BUT if you add about 2 tsps of chocolate syrup to this tea.. hmmmm. very good. Very nice desert at nite…

This is not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, though I did feel a bit of a tingle in my throat. It’s tasty, but not something I would want to have all the time. I’m looking forward to mixing it with some of my other Teavana teas. :)

I like the combination of chocolate and chili peppers when it comes to candy but this tea just tasted weird. Maybe it’s just the apple and strawberry. I ended up throwing it away after it sat in my cupboard for a year.

I really wanted to like this. Chocolate + chilis is generally something that would be ranked as good in my book. Unfortunately, as a tea it’s just weird and unpleasant.

One of my favorites. I often serve it to men as they always seem to enjoy it. I like to brew it fairly strong and for the full time (5-6 min)recommended.

Really want to try this — a fruit herbal blend named “Azteca Fire” sure sounds promising.

I didn’t steep enough tea for long enough, I think, though I am not a fan of white tea so I may just be too dense for this light of a flavor. Next cup I’ll add some more and try it, because the smell is amazing.

This is a given for anyone who has more than half a brain, but do not ever mix this with lemon mate. Such a disgusting moment of my life.

Much better with a hint of milk and some sugar. I usually hate sweet hot tea (beyond masala chai) but this is definitely one that works better sweet for me. I want to try it as though it were chai later just to see how it goes, because it’s rocking right now.

Eh…
Wasn’t crazy about this one. Thought I would, but it was really not something I’d buy again.
It did have an interesting taste when iced – interesting, not quite astounding. I did prefer it iced to hot, though.

I FINALLY got to where I like this tea! YAY! I have tried this several times and not liked it and I think it was because put too much in while steeping and steeped for too long. It suggested steeping for 5 to 6 mins this time I steeped for about 4 mins maybe a tad longer. BUT…I like it now so I guess that is all that matters…is that I like it. The reason I tried so hard??? I loved the way the combo sounded and I totally LOVE the aroma of this one! It’s AWESOME! This technically isn’t a “tea” since it doesn’t have tea in it but it’s a good cuppa…just depends on your taste…if you want to really taste the spice and peppery kick then steep it longer and/or put more in while steeping…if you are looking to taste and combo or like it a little on the light side steep it just a tad shorter that it calls for.

2 tsp @ 5 mins this time in my new ‘teapot’ from Adagio – VERY NICE! I FINALLY got it! YAY!
