Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
Steep Time: a little over 6 minutes
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: Chocolate covered strawberries
Tea Smell: chocolate covered strawberries
Flavor: chocolaty tea, hints of fruit with the end being a chili flavor
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: chili burn
Liquor: dark opaque brown, like coffee
The steeped tea has little chocolate bits that float around the top giving it a dirty look. There is also an oily sheen on the steeped tea. You don't smell the chili but it is certainly there when you drink it! Although the strawberry was a strong smell I missed it in the tea itself.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and did not use ANY of it to brew tea. I ATE IT. I measure out 2 Tablespoons, put it into a small glass dish and EAT IT as a dessert!! MUCH better to EAT THIS than to waste all that amazing flavor drinking it!! After all tea IS food!!
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I have always loved tea but this is the first tea that I've had from Teavana. I have to say I am very pleased! My boyfriend got it for me as a gift because he thought it sounded great and smelled delicious!
I really enjoy drinking this in the late afternoon or at night before I go to sleep because it has a great flavor and no caffeine.
I would definitely recommend this product - it encouraged me to try more from Teavana! I'm sure I won't be disappointed!
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
My mom and my seven year old's eyes both lit up when they first tried it and it is my new favorite.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
Teavana has not responded this any customer requests to post approximate calorie count for this tea - yet it has chocolate pieces in it - a lot. For tea-drinkers on restricted calorie diets (for whatever reason - diabetes, weight, other illnesses or just plain health interest), the difference between a 5-calorie tea and 50-calorie tea is significant.
The question is all over the web but no one knows the answer.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
With a name like "Azteca Fire" I was expecting more of a kick to it. The flavors are rather weak. It smells extraordinary good in the bag but once infused... meh.
I'm disappointed by this one.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
The only way I've had this tea is mixed with the peppermint tea. Basically mix 2 oz of Azteca Fire with 2oz of Peppermint--it is a consistent crowd-pleaser. It really adds interest to plain peppermint tea. Everyone who comes to our house asks for this tea blend. I can drink it any time of day or night! The blend is great straight, with agave nectar, or even a little milk.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
Add to Cacao Mint Black Tea for something minty, chocolaty, and fruity. I also add a touch of milk and honey when I need to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
A friend recommended I try this one. The smell is delicious, smells like chocolate, chili, and caramel.
I cooked up a batch, it made me nauseous. This is not the tea's fault. Chocolate is always iffy for me. I thought it tasted great, but almost like it had too much going on. I think it would be more agreeable on my stomach without the chili.
The family loves it. The girls ask for it when I get home from work. My wife doesn't like chocolate much either (at least in drink form) but our daughters love it. the kids both put a little caramel in it and thought that was just excellent.
I give it a 3 star rating because while I could see the value in it, it does not seem very tea like (even as an herbal). The flavor is very complicated, unique, and while it is a bit tasty, it wasn't agreeable with my stomach. The girls like it because its chocolate flavored, so it deserves a decent score since obviously others enjoy it.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
One of the best
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This great, spicy, chocolaty tea mixes very well with Rooibos Vanilla, but Teavana got rid of Rooibos Vanilla. So, if you can find another vanilla tea, for example maybe Honeybush Vanilla, then this tea combo might be a nice winter night treat.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
What a scary name for such a tasty tea! I was very skeptical due to the fact I hate spicy flavors and even find some chai teas too spicy/peppery for my taste so naturally with the name Azteca Fire I was afraid to try this one. Wow, not at all what I expected. I found it to be smooth with a predominate chocolate flavor. I love the savory taste; it is like an exotic hot chocolate. I was expecting it to be a little flat and not to taste rich and full since it is an herbal tea but I was pleasantly surprised. Although I must admit the only problem is I have to I strain it through a paper towel to get all the residue out of my drink, but it is so tasty I will be buying more of this variety very soon.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
OKay... the concept of this chocolate spicy tea attracted me.. and the smell was unusual - but the appearance of the tea with chocolate flakes mixed in.
On the first attempt for preparing this tea - I discovered that leaning on the sparing side with the water amount is best. The tea gives flavor at one temperature and the chocolate's melting point is at another so... if you do not properly use a little less water and have the temperature hot enough, you may end up with chocolate floating atop your tea. The tea itself has a flavor that the word "robust" does not match so even if you try to sip past the layer of chocolate the tea itself is a bit shallow. Tragically enough, I had more fun sifting through the tea blend to pick out the chocolate.
I know there are many merry accounts of this Azteca Fire but dear reader, I do not have good press for you on this selection.
Good Journey on your tea tasting adventures

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I had high hopes for this aromatic tea, but I was disappointed. I was expecting spicy and instead got something that resembled weak hot chocolate. I guess if you brewed it strong, it might be good as hot chocolate, but it is horrible as a tea. This is also a very heavy tea, so 2 oz. of this tea isn't much. Usually I can get multiple infusions with the other teas, but this one is a one-shot deal.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This tea is said to have strawberry in it, but I don't taste it.
This tea is, however, great when blended with Teavana's Raspberry Sangria Herbal Tea.
Many people love the taste of Raspberry and Chocolate, and these two together make a wonderful blend for a decadent treat throughout the day or a nice dessert tea at the end of a meal.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I fell in love with this tea the first time when it was mixed with Maté Vana. I needed a pick-me up at work and the salesperson asked if I wanted to try something new. It was extremely smooth, energizing, and had this nice "bite" to it. Now I use Azteca with Almond Biscotti, Thai Tea blend, any black tea really,...or just by itself when I don't want caffeine at night. I do use some rock sugar with it as it brings out the flavors of the chili and chocolate.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I drink this tea non-stop. it is pretty chocolaty but don't buy this expecting a cup of hot chocolate! The strawberries make this tea one of my very favorites.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
Love love love this tea, its almost perfect. Its rich and filling and it would be perfect if it could be brewed twice as strong without having to double and triple the ammount
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This is my new favorite tea! It is so chocolaty and delicious. It is not really spicy, but it might be good with a little extra spice added. Great for dessert, but also for anytime. Perfect for an almost calorie-free diet "splurge."
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I was highly disappointed in this tea. I don't like the herbal teas as much, but this one smelled so good at the store. I was interested in the chocolate and spice combo with the strawberries. The sales person at the store told me it was good to put in brownie mix. It think it will be better eaten as a brownie than drank in tea form. I'm thinking of brewing it in a small amount of water, then mixing it with milk. I think it will taste better as a chocolate milk drink. I'll have to wait until fall.
Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
It's sweet and tangy and... spicy??
Okay, while I can definitely tell that they threw some spice into this tea I think the chocolate and strawberries somewhat overpower the spice. But, this isn't a bad thing! I mean... how often are you looking for spicy tea?
This is a definite pick-me-up when you need a burst of flavor.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I really thought this was a strange combination. Interesting but not strong enough to hit its mark. Would taste better in a regular cup of hot chocolate. Next flavor please.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This tea is wonderful. I find it soothing and it gives me chocolate flavor and keeps me from wanting to eat candy. I thought it would taste weak, but I really like it. I blend it with the green peppermint tea and it is an incredible combination, tastes like a thin mint.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I wasn't expecting much from this tea because it sounded like one of those that had the potential to be good but just wouldn't pull it off. I'm also not a fan of herbal teas for the most part. The first pot I made of it was horribly overbrewed since my toddler son distracted me and I forgot about it, but I really wanted to try it. The tea was simply amazing. It's apple with just the right amount of cocoa flavor. I can't really taste the spiciness from the peppers, but I eat hot foods all the time so I'm sure it's just that subtle. Definitely recommended!

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
The funny thing is I actually HATE the taste of chocolate, but this tea is awesome. It doesn't taste "chocolatey" to me, but has more of a warm, sweet flavor with a kick of spice. A friend served me a cup one time, I didn't think I would like it, but now I actually crave this stuff! Again, like one review said, I wouldn't "expect" it to be like chocolate (if it was, I wouldn't drink it), just expect a warm, yummy, tea with a little zing to it!

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This just a very good tea. It is even great without the sweetner.When i heard chilli perppers were in this, i thought that this was goin to be a very spicy tea. I was dead wrong.This might sound gross, but wheen it was steeping, i put a hanful of ceerios to give it a nutty flavor. It tastes delicious with that. So when you get this tea, just try putting a handfull of cheerios in it while it is steeping. You can actually taste the cheerios in the tea!

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I mix the Aztecz Fire with Haute Chocolate for a boost in flavor. I am a chocolate lover and it contains no calories. Infuse for 4 minutes with hot water gives makes it just the strength.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I just bought a bunch of tea today I've never tried and I bought the least of this but now I wish I bought more. I didn't think I would like it because of the spice but it is not strong at all and mostly tastes like chocolate but not too overpowering. Excellent dessert tea.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This is a really smooth, enjoyable tea with a chocolate taste. I do not taste the "spice" as it is described, but I do like the taste anyway.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This tea has a great flavor. It is chocolatey, rich and somewhat buttery in flavor. Very, very good and addictive.
I love the chili kick. It's not too much but you can definately tell it's there.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I'm not really sure why people are complaining about this tea being weak. The solution to this is easy: simply add more tea. This is a cheap herbal tea, so it isn't that difficult to do. I add 4-5 tsp per 16 oz along with whatever I am mixing with it, and it isn't watery for me. It does drain slower if you're using a perfect tea maker, though. Great mixed with MateVana.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This is one of the 3 teas in my dessert tea blend that i invented while working @ the Teavana @ Town Square in Las Vegas. I mix equal parts of Azteca Fire Herbal Tea, Hazelnut Dolce Rooibos Tea, and Honeybush Vanilla Herbal Tea (layered in your teamaker in that order, Azteca on the bottom, Honeybush on the top). Add no sugar or a lot based on your personal preference. It's delicious with or without. This blend is best served hot, but makes a good iced tea too (use double the tea when making it iced).

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I am new to loose leaf tea and I just love the flavor. Azteca Fire has a delicious chocolatey flavor with a spicey kick - but not too strong. I mix in Peppermint to give it a chocolatey mint flavor. I really enjoy this tea.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I bought Azteca Fire because of its amazing smell but was disappointed the first time I tried it. Too watery. Later on, I tried it with soy milk, and that did the trick. Now I can really enjoy the combination of ingredients, particularly the chocolate and chili peppers. Yummy addition to soy milk!

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This tea is so good! In regards to one reviewer, it does taste like watered down hot chocolate but lets not forget it is a tea. If you want hot chocolate then drink hot chocolate. For a tea it is absolutely amazing and very flavorful. I've never had anything like it. I like to drink it at night. Its very warm and relaxing.

To combat the weakness just add more tea and brewing time. I love this tea a lot.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
I am a Teavana employee and would never try Azteca Fire because there was something about the spicy smell that turned me off to it. One of my co workers blended it with Peppermint and Haute Chocolate one night so I tried it and now it is my favorite herbal tea! I love how the spiciness feels going down my throat. It is wonderful and comforting for cold mornings. I would suggest blending with Masala Chai, Spice of Life, Strawberry Kiwi(yes, it tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry), Rooibos Toffee, Choco Nut Green, Mate Vana, and I'm sure I could think of many more. I hope this gives you some ideas!

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
This is by far one of the most unique teas I have ever tried. Yes it can be a little weak, but I combat this with longer steeping or by using more tea. Another great idea is using it in a blend (Golden monkey or mate vana would work).I told the clerk I wanted something chocolaty. He came back with this and after he waffed it over my way, I was in love. This is a staple in my cupboard at ALL times. It's kinda tasty too right out of the bag. Than again I am weird. lol

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
No matter how long I steeped this tea, it just didn't seem to turn out. I'm normally a huge fan of Teavana teas, but this one just doesn't have enough flavor. It always ends up tasting like slightly fruity water.

Comments about Teavana Azteca Fire® Herbal Tea:
Azteca Fire. Chocolate, Strawberries, Chili Pepper. Very Unique so i had to try it. I was so excited to try it but when i took my first sip, i realized it was basically watery hot chocolate. I tryed it again and i could taste the chili pepper and fruit. Overall, this might be good on the occasion but i wouldnt reccomend it.
