Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, 225g
The chocolate variant of the Drink Me Chai latte range: a 15 percent cocoa base turns the spiced chai into something close to a mocha, rich, creamy and frothy, made in seconds from powder with no machine or saucepan. It sits squarely at the pudding end of the range, sweeter and gentler than the plain Spiced. There is real tea in it, so it does carry caffeine. Convenience comes before purity here, but as a quick chocolatey chai at home it really does give you a café style cup; just keep it for treats.
Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, in brief.
Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte is the dessert-style instant chai latte powder from Drink Me Chai, the UK brand owned by founder Amanda Hamilton and the DMC team, the standard chai latte format crossed with proper cocoa for a chocolate-and-spice mug that needs only hot water to make, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the easy-to-make alternative to brewing a proper Twinings or Teapigs masala chai and frothing milk separately.
The base is the standard Drink Me Chai recipe of black tea extract, the four-spice quartet of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves, milk powder for the latte texture and added cocoa to pull the cup towards a hot chocolate direction. Spoon two heaped teaspoons into a mug, add hot water and stir, the powder dissolving in seconds to give a frothy chocolate-chai cup that compares well to a coffee-shop chai latte for the price of a few pence per serve.
A 225g household pouch at an accessible price compared to the coffee-shop chai latte at the local cafe, the easy chocolate-chai alternative to brewing a proper bagged chai and frothing milk separately each time, a useful pouch to keep in the kitchen cupboard for the dessert-style mug on a winter evening, and a chocolate-chai workhorse for any household that drinks the cup regularly.
Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte puts a touch of café style richness and a proper chocolate fix into your usual daily routine. Underneath it is traditional spiced chai, with good quality cocoa adding a deep, smooth chocolate layer. For anyone whose tea break is a small daily comfort, this is the mug that makes it feel like a proper treat.
Curator notes: we made Chocolate Chai with hot milk at the temperature the pack gives, tasted it side by side with the current pouch details and the brand's specification, and wrote these notes from that. Our Q and A tab, further down, covers keeping the powder fresh, how long an open pouch lasts and how hot the milk should be.

The Story Behind the Drink Me Chai
Drink Me Chai began in 2007, when husband and wife team Amanda Hamilton Stubber and Adam Hamilton Stubber got back from travelling in India missing the real spiced chai of Mumbai, something they could hardly find anywhere in Britain. A Yorkshire kitchen is where those first small batches came together, and the family, who still own it, have since made it Britain's best known chai latte brand.
