Welcome back to another blog about coffee!
This week is somewhat different than the other weeks. This week is about an iced chai tea latte. I had this drink earlier in the week and ended up not having time to go out again during the week. This drink technically isn’t coffee, but it’s a latte and contains caffeine, so it gets the job done. It’s also from Starbucks, which is a coffee shop, so we’re just going to go with it.
I wanted to try a new drink, and I’ve heard the iced chai tea latte was a quality drink. At first, I was hesitant to try it because I’m not a big fan of tea. I thought the tea would dominate the drink, however, I was wrong. I couldn’t even really taste the tea, and it tasted like a drink I would normally get.
The iced chai tea latte is a combination of black tea blended with cinnamon, cloves, and a variety of other spices. It is then mixed with milk and ice, creating a creamy flavor and look. All these ingredients create a spicy yet sweet flavor. Since there are many spices mixed in this drink, I thought the drink would have more of a spicy kick to it. It was the opposite, though. The drink had the right amount of spice, which allowed for all the flavors to be balanced. Even though there wasn’t a coffee flavor added, it still gave me the caffeine I needed to be awake. I didn’t realize this until after I bought my drink, but you can ask for shots of espresso to be blended into the iced chai tea latte to get that extra kick. Adding a few shots espresso could create the perfect latte!
I never thought I would get a drink that had tea in it and end up enjoying it. I would say that the iced chai tea latte is my new favorite drink at Starbucks! This drink is also offered hot if iced lattes aren’t your thing. Whenever you need caffeine, go to Starbucks and try this drink!
