- I compared chai concentrates from Good & Gather, Oregon Chai, Trader Joe's, Rishi, and Tazo.
- I used each to make hot & cold lattes and was surprised at how temperatures impacted my favorites.
I love a good chai latte, but I usually order it from cafés rather than making it at home.
Luckily, many brands offer easy-to-prepare chai concentrates, which are ideal for when I'm craving a hot tea in the morning or a refreshing iced latte during a warm afternoon. But chai can be tricky to get right since a tasty latte needs to balance sweetness and spice.
So, I tried chai concentrate from five different brands — Good & Gather, Oregon Chai, Trader Joe's, Rishi, and Tazo — to see how they compare when prepared hot and iced.
Here's how they stacked up and which made my favorite chai drinks.
