Recently, a coffee shop in Jiangxi Province (China) launched a new drink that immediately became a hit. The new drink is a mix of coffee and hot peppers.

A video circulating on social media shows the shop’s staff adding sliced ​​chili peppers to cups of coffee, and then adding chili powder, before serving them to customers. The shop sells about 300 cups of coffee a day. Each cup costs about $3.

Jiangxi Province is one of the spiciest regions in China. The drink that has created the new trend is called Jiangxi Spicy Latte.

"I don't find it too spicy. On the contrary, it tastes very good. This coffee is not as strange as people think," said a shop employee.

Most customers after enjoying the spicy coffee have positive feedback. "The chili coffee is not bad, it tastes a little spicy and a little sweet," commented one customer.

In recent years, creative combinations of coffee and exotic flavors have emerged across China. In September 2023, crowds lined up for hours to buy a new coffee mixed with the famous maotai liquor...
