This is a good balanced tea. I love spicy (hot pepper) things and this has just a hint. I also secretly gave it to my wife who does not like anything hot, and she thought it was good too. The balance comes from the black Pu-erh tea base, the peppers, chocolate, and cinnamon? I have added hot chili flakes to my tea before and this blend is way better.

Wowed by this one. It is my favorite of the samples. Had two pots and two extra sized cups of tea out of the sample too. Worth it.
