Tiesta Tea - Sexy Hot Christmas Tea | Loose Leaf | Cocoa Chili Black | Premium High Caffeinated Blend | Spicy Black | Make Hot or Iced | Brews Up to 25 Cups | 2 Ounce Resealable Bulk Pouch

Be forewarned, if you don’t like a bit of heat this is not the tea for you. This Christmas blend has wonderful warming spices and a kick at the end. It has replaced my morning coffee. There are fall sized, dried peppers in it, which I suppose you could pick out for less spice, but why bother? A teaspoon of sugar and splash of moo juice, and in a happy camper.

I found this blend quite interesting with its spicy holiday "bouquet." Most memorable of all is the afterbite of the chili, combined with the sweetness of the cocoa. Also, the blast of caffeine gave me a renewed energy level. Suddenly, I found the strength to get some stuff done! This is definitely not one for kids (due to the caffeine content) but as a pick-me-up for adult tea lovers...I recommend this blend.

I ordered tea from each of the company's categories. I thought it was a little strange to have a Christmas tea in May. As you can see, a label was printed and placed on a different flavor. Two of my other teas also had flavor labels places on them. The GMO label on 3 are also stickers. The Fruitty tea is the only one that had real packaging. It also had the lot number and a sale by date on it. There are plenty of discrepencies between all of the packages. I can deal with counterfeit items for decor and some gadgets. I can not handle it for something that I will ingest. I am throwing out all of the teas, including the Fruitty tea. I will be ordering directly from Tiesta.

Quite spicy but I'm a good way. Think the burn of an alcohol when sipping, but then it fades within 5-10 seconds. Very good and strong on the cinnamon. Would definitely recommend!

This is a great blend for those of us who like a little sweet and a little spice to our tea.

Tiesta Time Tea has never disappointed

I like spicy but this tea was too spicy for my liking. I can smell the chocolate but cant taste it over the spiciness.

I admit, I got this because of the name. (The "sexy" part, not the "Christmas" part.) So as someone who is smokin' hot myself (I have a good imagination!) I thought this would be a perfect compliment to my beverage repertoire. (Woo hoo! I spelled that right the first time! Happy Dance!)So on to the review. You know when you go out for Chinese food and get something with those little red peppers that you've learned the hard way to NOT EAT because there isn't enough water on the table to save your mouth? (And it's really funny when someone else at your table learns for themselves!) Well, there are a couple of those in the package. Like in your orange chicken, they give flavor and a bit of a spice kick. There are cocoa shells and chocolate chips that tone down the pain but leave the flavor, and there's cinnamon and peppercorns that add to the spice. (FYI - cocoa shells make an AWESOME tea with a little sugar too.)I'm not entirely sure how this can make me even sexier (as I sit here in my oversized t-shirt and boxers, or as I call the ensemble, "my sexy lingerie") but I'm sure it's happening.
