A bottle of Rasta Tease hot sauce

St. Paul, Minnesota · New Orleans recipes · Family-made

Don't Tease 'Em,
Please 'Em.

Peewee Dread's family hot sauce, cooked off New Orleans recipes in St. Paul, Minnesota. Creole seasoning, Caribbean heat — seven bottles, $13.00 each, mild enough for breakfast through Carolina Reaper.

Every bottle carries its heat level, 1 to 5. You know what you're opening before you pour it.

New Orleans recipes.
St. Paul kitchen.

Island is the look. New Orleans is where the cooking comes from. Chef P. Pierre Brown's Bayou collection is the New Orleans end of the range.

Made by a family,
not a factory.

Small batches, bottled in Minnesota, sold by the people who cook it.

Peewee Dread

The founder, and the reason the label looks the way it does.

Don't tease 'em.
Please 'em.

Seven sauces, one seasoning, and a heat ladder that tells you exactly what you are opening.

Mildest to meanest

Start mild. Or don't.

The five steps

Same scale on every bottle, on the shelf and on the site.

  1. 1. Sweet Talk

    You'll finish the bottle.

  2. 2. Warm Up

    You notice it, and you keep eating.

  3. 3. The Tease

    Real heat. Still tastes like food.

  4. 4. No Mercy

    Respect the pour.

  5. 5. Scorched Earth

    One drop. We warned you.

The Million Meal March

Meals on tables, not a progress bar

Rasta Tease funds meals through Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities, which feeds people in the same St. Paul the sauce is bottled in, and Feeding America, the national hunger-relief network. Both are real organizations you can go look up. That is the point.

The counter is the number the family has actually verified. It moves when the receipts come in, not when the marketing calendar says it should.

Why this sauce and not another one

One family, two cooks

Peewee Dread bottles the original sauces out of St. Paul, Minnesota. His cousin, Chef P. Pierre Brown, owns the New Orleans Bayou three outright. No factory, no focus group.

Seven sauces, one price

$13.00 a bottle straight across the line. Bayou Classic is mild enough to go on breakfast eggs. Bayou Reaper is not something we hand to strangers.

Heat you can read first

Every sauce carries its step on the same 1-to-5 ladder, from Sweet Talk to Scorched Earth. Nobody has to guess, and nobody gets ambushed at the table.
