What You Should Know

You'd spot this 32 fl oz TAZO chai concentrate in the tea/coffee aisle or refrigerated drinks section as an easy shortcut for making chai lattes at home. It feels cozy and indulgent—a nostalgic, café-style treat that turns a morning routine into something special. The concentrated, sweetened formula and ingredients like added cane sugar and honey plus "natural flavors" and citric acid point to industrial processing for smooth texture, flavor stability, and extended shelf life.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is a ready-to-use, sweetened concentrate containing added sugars, "natural flavors," and citric acid—ingredients and formulation features typical of industrially produced beverages, consistent with NOVA 4 (ultra-processed). While it uses organic tea and spices, the additives and processing aimed at convenience and shelf stability push it into the ultra-processed category.
