The new Iced Cherry Chai puts a springtime twist on Starbucks beloved Iced Chai Latte. The beverage begins with black tea infused with cinnamon, clove and other warming spices combined with milk and ice. It’s finished with cherry cream cold foam and a sprinkle of cherry crunch topping for the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. 

“When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture, warm spices and notes of cherry – and it all comes together in an approachable way,” said Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for Starbucks.
