Pure magic. Maybe it\u2019s the\ncombination of warm spices, black tea and milk, but there\u2019s nothing more\ncomforting. There\u2019s no coffee in a chai latte \u2013 in fact, our blends contain\nzero to a medium amount of caffeine, so you can sip morning into night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people ask us whether chai lattes are healthy, we always say it comes down to the spices in the chai you\u2019re drinking. For example, cinnamon is thought to help boost memory, assist with digestion and give you that glow while ginger is used in traditional Chinese and Ayurveda medicine to ward off cold weather. If you\u2019d like to learn more about chai tea, the spices we use in our tea and their benefits, you definitely should read <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/chai-101-chai-tea-make-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chai 101 (opens in a new tab)\"><u>Chai 101<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the best chai for a latte?
