  The spiciness surprised me! I would prefer more sweetness and less spiciness. This just goes to show that spiciness and sweetness are personal preferences.

Green & Blacks, Organic Maya Gold

• Preparation: 9 ounces 2% milk, 4 teaspoons powder, heated to 140 degrees, residual heat to 170 degrees.
• Sweetness: 2.5
• Spiciness: 1
• Ingredients: Organic raw cane sugar, Organic fat reduced cocoa powder (31%), Organic chocolate powder (15%), Organic cocoa liquor, Organic cocoa butter, organic powdered orange peel (0.7%), natural orange flavoring (0.7%), organic ground cinnamon (0.1%), organic ground nutmeg (0.1%), organic black pepper (0.09%)
• Tasting notes:

  It is more of essence of spices and flavors rather than a strong mix of spices. The lack of sweetness makes it a more savory drink. I would prefer more sweetness, and would have to do a side by side taste with the Winter Sippers, but I think the sweetness is even slightly less.
