The Great Latte Debate: Spiced Chai Tea Latte vs Cafe Latte

Ranked #11,793 in Food & Cooking, #209,542 overall

Spiced Chai Tea or Cafe Latte - Which Do You Prefer?

The debate is on, which is the better hot latte - one made from spiced chai tea or a cafe latte made with a coffee espresso base? Which tastes better? Which smells better? Which leaves you feeling better?

For me, it is cafe latte in the morning, spiced chai tea in the afternoon. Ooh, it is all good! The smooth, aromatic, spiced chai tea beats out the bold, rich, stimulating cafe latte - but only sometimes!

Personally, I think I am suggestible. If I smell the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee, yummy - I am going for a cafe latte. However, when there is a pot of cinnamon, cloves and the other ingredients that give spiced chai tea is flavors, you know I am going to have a Chai. If forced to pick -- I think I will leave the decision to you. That's correct, this page is for you to decide, so what are you waiting for - Spiced Chai Tea or Coffee Latte?

earthybirthymama says:

Chai all the time! blech to coffee. I love Chai especially all milk and whipped up in the Vitamix.

unqedomain says:

I would say both are very special to me thave different taste that you will never forget. But late I've been drinking chai tea.

TheBestGadgets says:

I drink much more coffee than chai, but when I do have a chai I enjoy it much more.

Deeksha says:

Tea is better than coffee, Coffee is very smelly and the layer stays on the tongue for long time...which I don't like at all.

PopCultureFan says:

Chai Tea is my fave! Not much of a coffee drinker.

NYThroughTheLens says:

Oooh, difficult question. I do love the taste of chai more than a latte but I have been known to mix chai tea into my coffee (seriously). :)

lizziebeth says:

Chai is better than coffee. It is not hard to make, and tastes great.

motorpurrr says:

Depends on the situation and where I am. If near a real espresso stand, then I will get the chai because it is better. But if I am at the local 7-11 type place then the coffee is better than the crud that comes out of the noisy machine. Tho I do mix them sometimes.

Pukeko says:

I'll start my debate! I love a good spiced chai tea!

No way, Cafe Latte is Better (Coffee rules!)

KReneeC says:

Anything with coffee is good!! NOTHING compares!

OldStones says:

If given the choice between tea or coffee, it is going to be coffee every time. I drink my tea iced. By the way hold the latte, I'll take mine black

JoshK47 says:

I'm partial to tea as a whole, but I am not very fond of chai, so I shall go with a cafe latte!

heehaw says:

WhiteSockGirl says:

I Really Want A Breville Barista Express Machine!



This Breville Barista Express machine is awesome. It has a 15 Bar pump (which my hubby, and expert coffee maker says makes the best coffee). It even has the grinder build in. The best part is it is programmable, so I can have a hot espresso waiting for me when I get out of the shower.

    Well it's a different type of taste and drink. A spiced chai tea latte is probably a little sweeter and has that tingle on your tongue because of the chai. A cafe latte is based off coffee beans and is probably more bold and bitter, even with the latte. Personally, I like the spiced chai tea latte more because it has the great antioxidants of tea and natural caffeine.

    Not a huge tea, fan but I enjoy a couple of pots of coffee daily. Cafe Latte is a little fancy for me :) I stick with the Cafe Americano.
