How spicy do these boiled sweets taste — are they suitable for people who do not like hot flavours?

The flavour of these sweets is built on three spicy ingredients: ginger, cinnamon and chilli. Each adds its own note: ginger gives a warm heat, cinnamon a soft, sweetish-spicy depth, and chilli a pronounced warming and piquant accent. Together it is not just “slightly spicy” — the taste is fairly intense, especially at the finish, when the chilli comes through more strongly.

Because they dissolve slowly, the sensations last longer than with an ordinary sweet: the taste gradually changes as the sweet melts. This is a plus for those who like bold flavour combinations, but it may be uncomfortable for people who are sensitive to hot flavours.

If you usually avoid fiery ingredients or are choosing sweets for a child, take the intensity of the flavour into account in advance. The product is designed for adults who enjoy unusual spices, rather than as a classic mild-flavoured sweet.
