I used to really enjoy it but had a bad reaction once to it(D) and am afraid to try it again. I used to get it at the hospital where I work and it was so yummy but that one time stays fresh in my memory. I drink the Celestial Seasonings Chai tea w/o caffeine and that's OK but not as good as the real drink! YuM!

I've had chai tea mix added into soy milk before without problems, that way you don't have problems with the mix. Not sure about what mix it was though...

They sell a liquid mix that is completely dairy free. And it comes in caff or decaf. The Chai caffeine one does not bother my tum at all. I'm sure decaf is just as good. Tazo Chai, and make it with soy milk. yum!! Just discovered this this weekend and nearly kissed the server!!

Do they usually have the decaf one on hand? Because caffeine is a BIG no-no for me and this morning I ordered a soy chai latte, forgetting until after I'd walked out that they use the caffeinated version. I spent $3 and didn't drink a sip of it - gave it to one of my friends instead.

...is seriously the best chai I've ever had, better than any black or green version I've ever tried. It's good stuff. Make it strong, and try rice milk or nondairy creamer - soy milk has too strong of a taste in chai for my liking.

I buy Tazo's decaf chai liquid mix from Whole Foods and combine it with equal parts soy or rice milk and then heat in the microwave. It is soooooo good!

You would order a decaf soy tazo chai. Yum! You can buy the mix in a carton. I haven't bought the mix yet but i KNOW it doesn't bug me. It's $6 a carton here in Canada.

makes President's choice Vanilla Rooibos tea, and it's phenomenal, and cheap. there's a Zebra on the box. Same thing, rooibos is redbush.Very yummy,. totally decaf. And dark, that's the best part.

Starbucks Soy chai..hmmm....I did ask if they had decaf and they said they had the tea bags but not the containers they use. She said there is a very small amount of caffeine in the drink so I got it. Caffeine doesn't bother me that much, it's more the milk products that do. It is yummy and just as good as the coffee I really like. Next I try Soy coffee for those days when tea just won't cut it!

Doesn't Silk creamer have lots of oil/fat added to it?

The Tazo chai lattes there, as long as they're made with soy don't bother me, bec. there's not that much caffeine in there at all.

I thought the same thing a long time ago. Shanna had it and never had a problem with it, so I decided to try it. It is high fat (50%) if you drink it straight from the container. But, I have a little in my tea with a safe meal, so it's not a problem. It's the same as if you use a little olive oil in your meal - and that's 100% fat.
Hope that makes sense!
