What You Should Know

You'd spot this 32 oz chai concentrate in the refrigerated beverages or specialty tea section, grabbed by someone who wants a quick café-style spiced chai at home. It feels cozy and indulgent—like a shortcut to a nostalgic café drink—while the syrupy, sweet concentrate and listed additives (multiple "natural flavors," citric acid, and added sugars) signal industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed packaged drinks.
