Chai tea is a popular hot beverage which is traditionally black tea blended with spices, milk, and sugar. This type of tea originates in India and is also called Masala chai.
The caffeine amount listed above reflects the average amount one would expect from a cup of chai tea.
There are many different types of chai tea and some are even caffeine-free, but traditionally chai tea has black tea as its base ingredient so most will contain some level of caffeine.
Chai Tea Caffeine Can Vary
Just like with all black tea based beverages, chai tea can also vary in caffeine content due to differences in the caffeine levels of the black tea used. Here are how some brands compare caffeine-wise per 8 fl oz serving:
- Pacific Chai: 67 mg
- Teavana Oprah Chai: 25 mg
- Tazo Chai 47 mg
- Oregon Chai: 66 mg
- Big Train Chai: 65 mg
- Lipton Chai: 30 mg
Chai Syrup
Some outlets sell a chai latte that is simply a chai flavored syrup mixed with steamed milk. These syrups are not caffeinated. However the drink is not truly chai, but rather a flavored milk.
Most other outlets (such as Starbucks) make their Chai Latte drinks from a Chai concentrate (that contains brewed tea, and is therefore caffeinated), and is in ther range of 25-60 mg caffeine.
Unless told otherwise - assume that your Chai DOES contain caffeine.
