Fried chilli latte, anyone?
Hmm, that sounds interesting. There's nothing like a chilli to give you a good wake-up call.
We are familiar with the controversial Chai Latte that came onto the coffee streets claiming to be a 'tea' flavoured latte.
Many have opinions about this drink, which includes a variety of spices and presents itself as part of the coffee family. It is one of those drinks you either love or hate and is a sham for many die-hard coffee drinkers.
But now, a coffee shop in China has flipped the coffee script on its head. This one sounds like it will have you sweating... or so we assume.

A coffee shop in China has introduced a spicy latte that includes chillies.
"Jingshi Coffee, a shop in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, eastern China, launched the spicy latte in December last year, it is now selling up to 300 cups a day, Pear Video reported." (SCMP)
The province of Jiangxi is known for its spicy food and now for its spicy drinks.
The new flavoured coffee is a hit with the locals and despite what we may think seeing sliced chilli featured as a coffee topper, the locals say "it tastes fine".

The drink costs 20 yuan (R53).
