Great Tea
My husband and I love South of the Border Tea. It is our third season purchasing it. Chocolate/chai forward with a spicy finish from the cayenne.
Sligthly spicy, slightly sweet, full of flavor.Ā This is a nod to the traditional enjoyment of cocoa in Mexico and Central America
Insider Tip:Ā Use thisĀ tea in our easy South of the Border TeaĀ Latte recipe.

Teas can be flavored a number of ways, through the inclusion of ingredients - such as flowers, nuts, or berries, the addition of oils or extracts - such as citrus or vanilla, or by using artificial flavors. After being added to a base tea, these ingredients are blended together in a number of ways, either in large batches in a blending machine or in small batches by hand. Some teas are flavored through their processes, such as Lapsang Souchong, which is smoked over pine fires during drying.
At The Tea Smith, we pride ourselves in blending many of our teas by hand, carefully calculating our blends, and selecting only the best teas and the best ingredients to be used in our collection.

I found this tea very red pepper spicy and red peppers are not even listed in the ingredients. I found a lot of the them in the blend, and when I removed as many as I could, I found the tea much more enjoyable. I love spicy foods, but spicy hot teas? Not so much....
