So here's where you've moved my favorite Chai!!! This was one of the first Chai teas I bought from you back in the year(s)? before ManTeas.com was set up. And here I was patiently waiting for it to be restocked over there on 52teas.com. Well I need to finish drinking up my other dozen or more teas to make room in my cupboard for more of this. I didn't think of it as a manly tea when I drank it, but I sure loved that peppery afterkick!! And yea, well, being girly and all, I hopped it up some more with my own cinnamon and stevia. But it's still great, especially in the winter when one needs all the warm they can get down - whether it's from the temperature heat of the tea, or the peppery heat of the tea. Works both ways!

It's so hard to find a chai w/ chili/red/cayenne pepper that also has chocolate, but does not contain licorice, anise, or fennel. I'm extremely picky about the tea/spice ratio, but this one is PERFECT. Now you guys just need to come up w/ a chai latte mix using this! By FAR the absolute best chai I’ve ever tasted.

I have my own drink that I make at home. I got the idea by reading about the way the Aztecs would traditionally drink it. You can think of it as the black coffee of hot chocolate: (1) unsweetened cocoa (2) a healthy dose of cayenne pepper, enough to induce a light burn on the first sip (3) vanilla and some spices, usually allspice, coriander, and mace. Maybe some anise, pepper, or a dash of nutmeg. No cinnamon! Note, no sweetener at all. It's become challenging for me to cope with the wimpy, overly sweetened stuff served elsewhere after I've gotten hooked on the real stuff. This looks like the sort of thing I’d enjoy.
