A coffee shop in Jiangxi province has launched a spicy latte and is now selling up to 300 cups a day. When a video of a shop employee adding sliced chili to an iced latte cup, then sprinkling more chili powder on top, went viral on the social media platform Douyin, many people were eager to try this seemingly bizarre new drink.

Those who have tasted chili coffee say, "I don't find it very spicy. On the contrary, it tastes really good" or "This new chili coffee is not bad. It has a slightly spicy and sweet taste". A shop employee also added, "This coffee is not as strange as people think".

However, for those who have never tried it, the beverage, which is mixed with a lot of chili, raises health concerns. Some social media users expressed, "This is an absurdly unusual drink", "I guess there might be problems after drinking such spicy things", or another worried, "It's creative, but I dare not try it for fear it will harm the stomach".

The creative combination of different flavors with coffee to create new beverages has appeared all over China in recent years. In September 2023, customers queued for hours to buy a new coffee drink mixed with China's famous Mao Tai liquor. Also in 2023, a coffee shop in Zhejiang province added a coffee mixed with bac thao egg to the menu, and many other shops quickly followed suit.

The chili coffee trend in China is sure to continue to evolve and create new trends in the future. Let's look forward to the next exciting things from this coffee world!
