Naming doesn't affect taste

Great new "flavor" that adds heat and great taste

Awesome! So glad you like it—I do too! The Frankenstein Bubblegum Pepper is all about pushing boundaries, and it’s great to hear it added some heat and flavor to your meals. Your feedback means a lot—thank you for sharing! 🔥

Base camp

My gosh. These are the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love them

Wow. I can’t tell you how much it means to hear this. When we started SpiceQuest, it wasn’t just about chili peppers—it was about creating something that would genuinely surprise and delight people. Hearing your words makes it all worth it.

Thank you for taking a moment to share this. It’s feedback like yours that reminds me why we pour so much into this venture. If there’s ever something you’d like to see us do, or a way we can make your experience even better, I’d love to hear from you.

The Chocolate Kit

The Chocolate Kit is another home run from SpiceQuest. Smooth, smoky flavors, very nice heat combos. If you haven’t tried SpiceQuest’s offerings, you are truly missing out!

Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! The Chocolate Kit was a labor of love, and hearing that its smooth, smoky flavors and perfect heat combos landed so well with you means everything to us. Knowing you’re enjoying the journey with us makes all the hard work worth it.

Something for everyone

We featured the pro kit + interactive spice station at my wedding, and it was a huge hit! Guests loved discovering "their number," and the display station made it easy (and fun) to understand different heat levels — giving everyone the confidence to experiment. Our guacamole and salsa station wouldn't have been the same without it!

Wow—thank you for sharing this! The thought of SpiceQuest being part of such a special day is incredibly humbling. I love that your guests found their “number” and had fun experimenting—it’s exactly what we hoped these kits would inspire.

And a guacamole and salsa station paired with the Pro Kit? Honestly, that sounds like a dream setup. Thank you for letting us be part of such a memorable moment.

Great flavor, perfect heat for my 10 yr old son!

My son wanted a spice grinder like I have but less spice than the Habanero and smaller size. This was a perfect choice.

This made me smile—thank you for sharing! I love hearing that our grinder found its way to your son’s table. Creating something that works for spice lovers of all ages is exactly why we do this. Here’s to many flavorful meals ahead!

Beast Grinder

I received my Beast Grinder XL in Ghost Pepper to add to the Tenderfoot selection purchased earlier. The Beast Grinder is amazing larger than the standard grinders and really solid and well made. Works great and a carefull application of the Ghost Pepper adds a nice heat to chilli, stews and almost anything. Especially in the Northeast this time of year. Also even better that the products is the customer service.

I have to admit, the Beast Grinder wasn’t even supposed to exist—I didn’t think we needed it! But people like you kept asking, and, well… turns out, I know nothing because it’s become a fan favorite. 😅

I’m so glad to hear it’s living up to its name and bringing the heat to your chilly Northeast days. (Ghost Pepper in chili and stews? Now that’s winter survival done right!) And thank you for the kind words about our customer service—honestly, it’s just as important to us as the products we make.

Appreciate you being part of the SpiceQuest journey. If there’s ever anything else you’d like to see, let me know—I’ve clearly learned to listen better!

Such a refreshing new hot chili product

Such a refreshing new super hot chili product. As an older gentleman, I have to eat my hot spicy food in moderation. With this precise delivery of spice, I can do just that. Great product and presentation.

Coming from someone I deeply admire in the world of spice, your words mean more than I can say. Thank you for taking the time to share this—it’s truly an honor.

We created these grinders to give everyone, no matter their spice tolerance, the chance to enjoy chili peppers in their own way, so knowing they’re working for you in that exact way is incredibly rewarding.

Your expertise and appreciation inspire me to keep pushing forward in this journey. Thank you again—it means the world.

Nicely wrapped

An awesome Christmas gift

We gave SQ sets to three different family members over Christmas, and they all loved them. They loved the versatility of the fact that different people could add different levels of heat to their dishes. And the hot sauce aficionados confirmed that yes, these spices bring the heat!! All the gifts were a smashing success. Well done Spicequest.

This absolutely made my day—thank you! Knowing your family enjoyed the SpiceQuest sets (and that they were Christmas hits!) means so much to me. I love hearing that the versatility worked for everyone, from the mild to the heat seekers.

It’s humbling to know our spices made it to your holiday table. Thank you for sharing and for being part of this adventure with us.

Genius - where has this been my whole life?

I love spice and love to cook - often have left spice out of my cooking to accommodate family and friends. Spicequest is GENIUS as it allows me, and all others, to add the heat we seek to any dish/side/appetizer…and without changing flavors!
A+, LOVE THIS!

Wow—thank you for this incredible feedback! It’s amazing to hear how SpiceQuest has made its way into your kitchen and solved that “spice for everyone” dilemma. The whole idea was to let people enjoy heat on their own terms, and knowing it’s working for you like this is so rewarding.

Fantastic gift for the heat lovers

This was given as a gift and they loved it! It became the envy of the “hot stuff” club at their work!

Thank you for sharing this—it’s awesome to hear our kit stirred up some spicy envy at work! Knowing it brought joy (and a little friendly competition) to the heat lovers makes me smile.

My First SpiceQuest

These folks are awesome! They improved my bungled order and issued a refund for the difference. First class!

Thank you for sharing this! I’m so glad we could help untangle the mix-up and make things right. Bungled orders happen (God knows we are in a constant state of bungleness!), but what matters most is making sure you’re happy in the end. Here’s to your next SpiceQuest adventure—it’s going to be a good one!

Best of the Best

I reluctantly ordered these grinders not knowing the quality of the peppers or the grinders. I ordered three small 1-3 and three of the Beast, 2 Ghost Pepper and one Habanero. The grinders and the peppers exceeded my expectations. I like the smaller grinders but love the three Beast grinders. Better than the peppers and the grinders was the exceptional customer service. I will be ordering more in the future for myself and for guests. Can't say enough. Great products and exceptional Customer Service!

Honestly, we’ve all been burned by something overhyped before. But knowing we won you over? That feels pretty amazing.

The Beast grinders were kind of a wild experiment for us—big, bold, over-the-top. Not for everyone. But when they click for someone like you? That’s a win.

And the customer service shoutout—thank you for that. It’s not always smooth sailing, but we work hard to make things right. Glad it showed.

Looking forward to seeing what you pick up next. Thanks for trusting us.

Great customer service

Ordered as a gift. Got hung up at USPS for over a week. Contacted seller and they sent another one via UPS.very happy with service.

Thanks for sticking with us through that shipping mess—we were just as frustrated as you! I’m so glad we could get things sorted and make it right.

Your happiness means everything to us. Thanks for taking the time to share this—I really appreciate it.

Love these spices

I absolutely love these spices, I use them every single day. Depending the day I feel like a little more or a little less spice but can handle even number 10. Haven’t quite braved the 11 yet. Very high-quality product would recommend 100 times over.

Every single day? That’s the ultimate compliment—thank you! And handling number 10? Respect. Seriously.

When (not if!) you’re ready to take on the 11, just know we’re cheering you on. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if anyone can handle it, sounds like it’s you.

Thanks for the kind words and for being such a big part of the SpiceQuest adventure. Means a lot.

Best Gift Yet

My son-in-law is a pepper head. Bought him the classic ring of fire, for his birthday. He was so stoked, that he tried it immediately. He hasn’t stopped talking about it.

Great

I love it. Great quality. I will definitely be ordering more.

Great package! SpiceQuest is definitely top-tier in chilies. Unpacking is always impressive. Excellent company, impressive presentation, and extremely flavorful peppers. You will not be disappointed.

Really good!

My wife keeps that thing on her. Add a shot or two into soups and chilli to kick it up to 11.

Amazing!

Amazing product!

Impressive product

The spice is surprisingly hot. The dispenser is very handy. Seriously impressed right down to the packaging and quality.

Definitely not your mother’s bubblegum!

Yep, this one kicks a bit! Great flavor profile and a very nice burn! I’m excited to try the upcoming special editions while growing my collection of these handsome and high quality dispensers!

Awesome Asian Pepper Spice Kit

I had previously purchased the Pro Kit, and have really been enjoying the flavors and heat levels within that kit.

When the Asian Spice Kit became available, I knew I had to get that too. The flavors again are enticing, the heat levels offer options for most foods one might choose to try them with.

Very impressive kits, love the dispensers, first rate all around.

Customer service - The SpiceQuest Team really cares about ensuring their customers are happy with their products.

Can’t wait for the next editions to come out.

I’ll be collecting them all!

Far better than I expected

These are far better than I expected them to be. Beautifully packed and beyond pungent. I would recommend these for anyone who loves wome good spice that doesnt want to break the bank
