Curator note · Drink Me Chai
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 is firmly the indulgent, dessert end of the range, sweeter and softer than the plain Spiced version. There is real tea in it, so it does carry caffeine. Convenience-led rather than purist, but for a quick chocolatey chai at home it genuinely delivers a cafe-style cup; treat it as a treat.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

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.

Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.

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.

Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature.

The Story Behind the Drink Me Chai

Drink Me Chai was created in 2007 by Amanda Hamilton Stubber and Adam Hamilton Stubber, husband and wife founders who had spent time travelling India and noticed that the proper spiced chai they'd had in Mumbai was almost impossible to find in the UK. They started blending small batches in their kitchen in Yorkshire and have since grown into the UK's best known chai latte brand, still family owned today.

Our Commitment To The Planet

Drink Me Chai is a leader in providing authentic latte infusions that respect traditional botanical sourcing and modern sustainability.

Global Terroir Sourcing: Blended and packed in the United Kingdom using high quality ingredients sourced from West Africa and India to ensure maximum flavour potency.

Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

Pure Ingredient Integrity: We prioritize real Cocoa and natural spices over industrial fillers or synthetic heat agents.

How Does Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, 225g Compare to:

  • Nescafé Gold: Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, 225g offers a more distinct flavour profile and competitive pricing versus the mass market alternative; the difference is most noticeable in the second half of the cup when Nescafé Gold starts to thin out.
  • Starbucks Premium: where Starbucks Premium leans into a single dominant note, Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, 225g delivers a more balanced and aromatic experience designed for daily drinking rather than as an occasional treat.
  • Costa Coffee: both occupy a similar price band and shelf position, but Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte, 225g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Drink Me Chai brand heritage outlined above.
