Chai latte is traditionally prepared with black tea, which contains a moderate amount of caffeine. A typical cup of chai latte contains about 30-50 mg of caffeine per 200 ml.
Whether you can sleep after chai tea depends on your individual caffeine sensitivity. Since chai latte is traditionally made with black tea, it contains a moderate amount of caffeine.
If you are sensitive to caffeine or prefer to avoid it before sleeping, it is advisable to choose a caffeine-free option such as David Rio's Decaf varieties.
This allows you to enjoy the full chai flavor without having to worry about the caffeine content.
The amount of chai tea you can drink per day depends on your individual tolerance to caffeine.
In general, it is recommended to limit consumption to 2-3 cups per day to avoid possible side effects.

A chai latte is a blend of chai tea, usually with a black tea or green tea base, and frothed milk. Spices such as cinnamon and cardamom give it its characteristic spiciness and warmth.
David Rio's Chai Latte is based on high-quality ingredients and is available in different variations, from low-sugar to vegan.
In contrast to normal chai, which traditionally consists of a mixture of tea and spices, the chai latte is prepared with hot milk, which gives it a softer, creamier texture. While the classic chai tea has a more intense, spicy base, the milk in the chai latte provides a milder and sweeter flavor composition.
David Rio's chai latte offers the perfect balance between aromatic spices and creamy milk foam, making it particularly velvety and full of flavor.
A dirty chai is a blend of traditional chai tea and espresso. This combination unites the spicy aromas of chai with the intense coffee base of espresso, creating a strong, aromatic taste. It is an ideal choice for anyone who loves the spices of chai but doesn't want to miss out on the taste of coffee.
The David Rio Power Chai Espresso is a similar variant that also combines the intense spices of chai with the taste of coffee. The taste of chai is enriched with a strong espresso note, making it an ideal drink for chai and coffee lovers alike.
A dirty chai is a mixture of chai latte and espresso. First you prepare the chai as usual, but then add a shot of espresso to create a stronger and more invigorating version of the traditional chai latte.
