The aromatic fusion blends classically smooth black tea with milk and honey, then spices it up with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger. The result is a hot drink that's perfect as an indulgence on cozy night, an afternoon pairing with your favorite sweet treat, or a companion on the morning commute.

Customer Reviews

SPLENDA Alert
I was VERY disappointed in the Chai Tea Latte. I was very excited to try it and after brewing my first cup the smell was of a wonderful creamy pumpkin pie. But after my first sip I knew there was something horribly wrong. Sure enough I realized I should have looked at the ingredients before spending $9. The chai tea disk contains Splenda (sucralose) which to those of us who can't stand the stuff, and can detect it in any food no matter how subtle the metallic aftertaste, was a HUGE disappointment. It makes no sense to me why the makers would use Splenda to sweeten the chai tea when the latte creamer includes sugar already. So if you like or don't mind Splenda you will probably really enjoy this. On the other hand if you are sensitive to it your first cup may also be your last, as mine was. :(

It's definitely NOT a Starbucks or CoffeeBean Chai Tea Latte!
I am a BIG fan of Starbucks and CoffeeBean's Chai Tea Latte. And was so excited to buy this product hoping that it would replace my $4 habit. But I was dissapointed. Another reviewer that gave it a good rating stated that "it smells wonderful...tasting like a liquid pumpkin pie...Sweet, creamy and somewhat spicy". Well, it is sweet and creamy but not spicy like my favorite Chai Tea Latte. It just doesn't even come close to that taste...but I have convinced myself that even though I'm giving up on the taste, I'm saving at least $3 per cup if not more. And, yes, you can taste the splenda...and I can say that because I am a splenda fan. Overall, I only gave it a three star because it's not a bad tasting item, but just not what I expected it to taste. Maybe the wonderful aroma alone could satisfy you...

Splenda - What a horrible idea
This drink should get ZERO stars.

My husband and I recently purchased the Tassimo Suprema machine. We mainly drink cappuccinos, but we were excited about some of the other drink options. To add variety to our selection, we tried the Twinings Chai Latte T discs. I was the first one to taste the chai latte. I looked at my husband immediately and remarked, "It tastes like it has Splenda in it!" We were both incredulous at first, but then he tasted it as well. It did taste like it had Splenda. I took the packaging out of the garbage and read the ingredients of the Twinings Chai Latte. To our very severe disappointment, the very last ingredient was sucralose. My husband and I detest Splenda - it has an awful aftertaste and it gives us headaches. We are extremely disappointed that Tassimo/Twinings decided to put Splenda in the Chai Latte recipe. We did not purchase our Tassimo system because we wanted low calorie drinks - and if the product contains Splenda IT SHOULD CLEARLY SAY SO ON THE PACKAGE. Furthermore, we are perplexed why, if this one product contains Splenda, there is no other Chai latte option. Why in the world would someone want to spoil the wonderful taste of Chai with a manufactured sugar substitute like Splenda? If customers ASK for a low calorie substitute, it should definitely be made available. But why make your only version "low calorie?"

We cannot bring ourselves to finish the rest of the package that we purchased - it tastes so awful. We're very disappointed that the money we spent on the package of Chai Latte T discs was wasted. If we had seen on the packaging that it contained Splenda we would not have purchased it - we automatically assume that the sweetener is not artificial unless the label indicates otherwise - all customers do.

Of course, if you don't mind the taste of Splenda then you might really enjoy this drink. Otherwise, spend your money on something else - and make sure you read the ingredients before you buy it!
