Trader Joe's Best Products: Hot Beverages

These Trader Joe's drinks are trendy and cool — and meant to be served at a high temperature. They're perfect for beating those mid-winter blues. Also, check out this list of some of our favorite coffees and teas.

#5 Trader Joe's Gingerbread Coffee
Ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg make this coffee a great way to start a cold winter morning. It's like a gingerbread man took a little dip in your java.

Final rating: 7 out of 10

#4 Trader Joe's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Although it's primarily a baking ingredient, it also makes a decent base for deep, dark hot cocoa. Add a good amount of sugar if you're averse to a bit of bitterness.

Final rating: 7.5 out of 10

#3 Trader Joe's Salted Caramel Chai Tea Latte
Nathan and Sonia swear by this stuff and recommend you make it with milk. But whether you mix it with water, half and half, or black tea, as some of our readers have suggested, this is one unique chai. Tastes like a cuppa melted caramels.

Final rating: 8 out of 10

#2 Trader José's Spicy Hot Cocoa
Trader Joe's Mexican-American cousin José brings us this treat from south of the border. Similar to Nestle's popular Abuelita, it's hot chocolate with cinnamon and a bit of Latin love.

Final rating: 8 out of 10

#1 Trader Joe's Vanilla and Cinnamon Black Tea
Besides some of the coolest packaging we've seen from Trader Joe's, this "Lemur Tea" has the perfect combination of black tea, vanilla, and cinnamon, and it earned an almost perfect score from Russ and Sandy.  

Final rating: 9.5 out of 10
