LCurator note · Drink Me Chai
The gentle one of the Drink Me Chai range: vanilla rounds the spice right down into something mellow and sweet, so it is the variant to choose if the flagship Spiced version reads as too brisk or sharp for you. Same instant convenience, same frothy cafe-style cup with no machine, just softer and more comforting. Real tea, so it carries caffeine. Less interesting than the Spiced or Dirty if you want the chai to assert itself, but the easiest, most soothing of the family for a quiet afternoon.

About this tea
Drink Me Chai Vanilla Chai Latte, in brief.
Drink Me Chai Vanilla Chai Latte is the dessert-style vanilla variant of the Drink Me Chai range, the standard masala chai latte recipe softened with natural Madagascan vanilla notes, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the gentler softer alternative to the original Spiced Chai Latte or the louder Dirty and Chocolate siblings in the same brand range.
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 natural vanilla to pull the cup towards the dessert end of the chai spectrum. Spoon two heaped teaspoons into a mug, add hot water and stir, the powder dissolving in seconds to give a frothy vanilla-chai cup that drinks softer and creamier than the proper Spiced Chai sibling and works particularly well as an after-dinner alternative to a strong coffee.
A 250g household pouch at an accessible price compared to the coffee-shop vanilla chai latte at the local cafe, the gentler dessert-style cup in the Drink Me Chai range and the easy alternative to brewing a proper bagged chai and frothing milk separately with a vanilla syrup, and a sensible household pouch for any kitchen cupboard for the daily evening dessert mug at home in front of the television.
Drink Me Chai Vanilla Chai Latte is great for those seeking to integrate a touch of cafe style luxury into a modern daily routine. This premium instant blend captures the essence of traditional chai but shifts the focus toward a mellow and vanilla infused profile that is both gentle and restorative. It is the definitive choice for the drinker who views their tea break as a dedicated ritual for sensory comfort and sweet spiced indulgence. It is the perfect choice for the individual who views their daily treat as a vital component of a productive 2026 lifestyle.

Curator’s notes
Read the full write-up
By marrying the aromatic depth of chai tea with a smooth vanilla finish, Drink Me Chai has created a vanilla latte that serves as a liquid sanctuary. The absence of synthetic fillers ensures a clean palate and a nutrient dense
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.
