I was SO excited about this one before it came out. Whenever I see ginger or chili or peppercorn in a tea I jump at it – I definitely crave some heat (or at least a bite) in my teas. This was tasty, but overall disappointing. There was a tiny hint of heat from the ginger, but the most predominant taste was hibiscus. Sigh. I like hibiscus just fine, but it’s not what I was expecting from this tea. Iced with some agave it is nice and refreshing, but it’s not the favourite I expected it to be.

If you like a nice bite to your tea, try Mango Diablo. It’s full of sweet mango goodness with a touch of heat. I love it iced, but it’s tasty hot as well.
Good to know! I’ve been curious about that one since it came out, and I’ve heard lots of good things. Glad to hear the heat comes through once it’s brewed.
Oh it does, it’s quite spicy. I bought 100g yesterday based on the smell alone. At first I thought it tasted like spicy hot water with a hint of mango but I tried it again using more of the dry tea and it was tasty, sweet with the perfect amount of heat. I’ve yet to try it iced!
