TRY THEM ALL! BUNDLE 4 TEAS FOR $40.

BIRTHED FROM NECESSITY

Inferno Tea Co. was born from necessity and a daring culinary accident and a mother son duo obsessed with tea. When David discovered he was allergic to coffee, the search for a powerful alternative led to an unexpected breakthrough: jalapeño-infused tea. What began as an experimental remedy in Eva's kitchen quickly evolved into Seattle's boldest tea company.

Crafting

Liquid Fire

At Inferno Tea Co., we've developed a proprietary infusion process that harmoniously blends the natural heat of jalapeños with premium tea leaves. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure the perfect balance of heat, flavor, and energy-boosting properties.

Our Tea Sourcing Philosophy

We believe exceptional spicy tea starts with exceptional ingredients:

Premium Tea Bases:

Our black tea comes from high-elevation gardens in Assam and Sri Lanka, selected specifically for their robust profiles that stand up to and complement heat. Our green tea varieties are sourced from carefully selected Japanese and Chinese gardens known for producing leaves with the ideal balance of crispness and natural sweetness.

Pacific Northwest Jalapeños:

Whenever possible, we source our jalapeños from small farms in the Pacific Northwest. This regional focus ensures freshness and supports local agriculture while providing the perfect capsaicin intensity for our infusions.

Natural Flavor Profiles:

All fruit essences and additional botanical ingredients are 100% natural. We refuse to use artificial flavors or enhancers—when you taste mango in our Molten Mango blend, you're tasting real mango essence, not a lab-created approximation.

BIG IMPACT

SMALL BATCHES,

As a small-batch producer, we maintain direct relationships with our ingredient suppliers and personally approve every production run. This hands-on approach ensures consistency and quality control that mass producers simply cannot match.

Each tea blend undergoes dual testing: both hot and cold, because we believe great tea should perform exceptionally regardless of how you prefer to serve it. This dual-approval process (which started with Eva's preference for hot tea and David's insistence on iced tea) has become a cornerstone of our quality assurance.

  • INNOVATION

    THROUGH ITERATION

    What sets Inferno Tea Co. apart is our relentless pursuit of the perfect spicy tea experience. We test hundreds of variations before releasing a new blend, adjusting jalapeño quantity, infusion time, tea base composition, and complementary ingredients until we achieve the ideal balance.
