Following ‘Smashed Egg Latte’ and ‘Vinegar Americano’, spicy ‘Chili Coffee’ has appeared in China and is becoming a hot topic locally.
‘Pepper Coffee’, launched by a Chinese cafe in December last year, is said to be so popular that more than 300 cups are sold every day.
On the 4th local time, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) presented a unique coffee with an article entitled ‘Chinese cafe sells more than 300 cups of red pepper coffee a day’.
The place that introduced an unfamiliar drink called ‘pepper coffee’ was a cafe in Jiangxi Province, China.
Jiangxi Province, along with Sichuan Province and Hunan Province, is famous for having a lot of spicy food in China.
Red pepper coffee, called ‘Jiangxi Spicy Latte’, is made by sprinkling thinly sliced dried red peppers and red pepper powder on an iced latte. The price is 20 yuan (about 3,700 won ) the cup.

‘Chili Coffee’ offered by a cafe in Jiangxi Province, China. It is a drink made with thinly sliced pepper and red pepper powder sprinkled on an iced latte. The price for one glass is around 3,700 won.
So what does it taste like?
“It’s not that spicy,” said a shop worker. “It’s not as strange as people think.”
On social media, Chinese people posted test photos of ‘chili coffee’ and responded, “It’s not bad” and “It tastes a little spicy and sweet.”
On the other hand, there are also reactions like “I was surprised because it tasted so ridiculously abnormal” and “I don’t dare try it for fear of having an upset stomach.”
This is not the first time that a unique coffee has appeared in China.
Last September, Luckin Coffee, a franchised coffee shop called ‘Chinese Version of Starbucks’, launched a ‘Moutai Latte’ made with China’s highest quality liquor ‘Moutai’.
It sold 5.42 million cups and recorded sales of 100 million yuan (about 18.3 billion won) in just one day of its launch, with customers lining up for hours to buy this drink.
