Decaf chai latte options
"Do you have or can you source decaf chai latte powder? I dont mind purchasing 1kg+ Thank you"
What a great question, and one I haven't been asked before.
Straight to the point, I don't sell 100% decaf chai, however I thought it might be helpful to go into some detail for you, to help make the right decision for your needs.
There are two kinds of Chai, one is known more broadly as Chai Tea, which is prepared by infusing spices in water, similar to brewing tea. Caffeine from this traditional Chai Tea is usually around 80mg - that number can be manipulated by the time you steep your tea for - a shorter duration will result in a more mild tea, as well as less caffeine, as low as 50-60mg.
The other kind of Chai, is known as Chai Latte, and is the popular non coffee beverage in Australia. The Chai Latte mixes I have on the website, both Bondi Chai and Creamy Chai are more tailored to the Australian market for flavour. The caffeine in these is closer to 25mg per serve - while not a decaf, it is a lower caffeine alternative.
When you compare that to coffee, non decaf is around 130mg, while even the decaf coffee contains caffeine, a lesser amount at a rate of around 10mg.
So, while the Chai Latte has caffeine of around 25mg, it is around 1/4 of the caffeine found in traditional chai, similar to the comparison of coffee and decaffeinated coffee.
I hope this helps, Here is a link to the chai's;
