Iced Chai Latte
Spiced Indian tea tradition over ice
$8.00
The Story
Iced chai latte brings the ancient Indian spiced tea tradition into the modern iced beverage category — the warming aromatics of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves chilled into a refreshing summer drink. While hot chai has been consumed in India for thousands of years, the iced format emerged in Western cafes during the 2000s specialty drink movement.
The paradox of a "warming" spice blend in an iced drink is resolved beautifully: the spices provide aromatic complexity and a gentle warmth in the throat even when the drink itself is cold — creating a multi-sensory experience that is simultaneously refreshing and comforting.
At Cappadocia, our iced chai latte is made with premium spiced chai blend, cold milk, and ice — a naturally sweet, aromatic drink that needs no added sugar and pairs beautifully with our pastries and sweet menu items.
