| Or - Sweet Chilli in the USA |
I think this flavor may only be available in Australia, even though the bottom of the box says "Imported by Tenth Dot Business Development" (cute logo)...and "Only Natural Products" in --- SAN ANTONIO?! Yes, 1045 Central Parkway North. But made in the United Kingdom.
You can find the different label/name (same tea/ingredients) here. I believe I have seen it in Whole Foods or Central Market.

Size: 15 teabags
Caffeine: No
Type of Tea: Herbal
Steeping time: 4-5 minutes (I kept hitting the microwave power button instead of the timer button, sorta-kinda nuking my Girl Scout Thanks a Lot cookies. Oops.
Mix ins: Doesn't need anything. In fact, when I added just pain 2% milk, it made it terrible.
Fragrance: Slight chocolate fragrance
Ingredients: Cocoa, licorice, chilli (15%), ginger, cinnamon, fennel, anise, black pepper, Bourbon vanilla, cardamom, cloves.
Opinion: At first I thought it had stevia (thank you licorice and anise), as it tasted very sweet like stevia. But the other flavors were muted. I think I would make it again with two teabags. It also brewed disconcertingly cloudy. It did have a nice bit of spicy heat, which was kind of neat. While it was cheap in Australia, I believe it is close to $5-6/box. Given the fact you may want to use two teabags, it puts it more on the expensive side here. Bonus it is caffeine free and organic, so if you'd like a spicy pick me up in the afternoon, this would be good mug.
