Chai Latte at Starbucks carries 181 kcal and 7.4g of protein. Updated 12 September 2026.
The warm, aromatic flavours of chai tea have their roots in the ancient Ayurvedic tradition of India, where roadside tea merchants can be found preparing black tea with traditional healing spices like cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper. Featuring ingredients gathered from around the globe, our version of this beloved beverage is wonderfully sweet and spicy – and every bit as soothing.
The price is missing here for a reason. Starbucks does not publish one we could check, and a guess dressed as a figure is worse than an honest gap.

Everything You Need to Know About Starbucks Chai Latte
How to order Chai Latte at Starbucks
Chai Latte is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the Starbucks app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under featured. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
Starbucks Chai Latte price in 2026
There is no verified Starbucks Chai Latte price for 2026. Starbucks prices per branch and publishes no national list for it, so the accurate figure is the one your own branch shows in 2026. Any site quoting a single exact national price for this item is guessing, and we would rather show the gap.
Sugar in plain terms
29.3g of sugar works out at roughly 7 teaspoons. The adult reference intake is 90g a day and the NHS free sugars guideline is tighter at 30g, so one of these covers a real portion of either figure. A smaller size, or fewer pumps of syrup, moves this number more than anything else on the order.
Finding it near you
We list 176 Starbucks branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Edinburgh postcode area holding the most at 16. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Starbucks app confirms it in seconds.
What 181 kcal means here
181 kcal is well below the featured average. On its own it is a small addition to a day rather than a meal. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Protein for the calories
It gives 4.1g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 3.6g across everything we hold for Starbucks. That is a little better than the menu average, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 38th of 96 in its section.
Pro Tips for Ordering Chai Latte
Ordering it the way you want
Size and milk are the two levers on a drink like this, and both move the calorie figure more than any syrup does. A smaller cup with semi skimmed milk lands well below the same drink made large with whole milk. Starbucks publishes figures for the standard build, so any change you ask for moves you off the number in the table above.
A lighter choice in the same section
Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refresha Drink sits in the same part of the menu at 79 kcal, which is 102 fewer than this for £6.30. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Allergens declared
Starbucks declares 1 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: milk. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
