HIGH DESERT HEAT

Chile-forward | Warm | Smoky | Clean heat without burn 

Born from the rugged landscapes of the Colorado high desert, High Desert Heat is a clean, chile-forward blend that delivers warmth without overwhelming fire. Crafted with a mix of chiles, deep aromatics, and zero sugar, this rub brings a slow-building heat that elevates food without masking it. 

This is heat with intention — warmth that enhances, not punishes. 
You’ll taste layers: earthy depth, subtle smoke, a touch of brightness, and a finish that lingers just long enough to remind you that flavor should be bold but balanced. 

High Desert Heat is built for open flames, backyard grills, cast iron skillets, and simple, honest cooking. It works on almost anything — chicken, pork, beef, veggies, eggs — adding depth and character to every dish. 

This is the blend that started The Spice Forge. 
Bold. Clean. Rugged. Colorado through and through.
