Iced Dirty Chai Latte
Spiced chai and espresso, chilled and bold
$9.00
The Story
The iced dirty chai latte is the cold counterpart of the popular hot dirty chai — a spiced chai latte "dirtied" with an espresso shot, served over ice. The drink balances the warming aromatics of cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger with the bold intensity of espresso, all mellowed by cold milk and ice into a refreshing, complex summer drink.
As specialty cafes pushed into warm-weather menus, the iced format of the dirty chai became a standout — the cold temperature emphasising the spice notes and creating a flavour profile that feels simultaneously familiar and exotic, both warming and cooling at the same time.
At Cappadocia, our iced dirty chai latte layers premium spiced chai blend with cold milk and ice, then adds a freshly pulled espresso shot — the spice notes of the chai complementing the roasted notes of the coffee in a harmonious fusion that feels right at home on our menu.
