A tall one has 75 mg. It's mosty milk (and flavors) with a little coffee. I am 27 weeks and I drink some occasionally.

A latte is espresso and steamed/foamed milk. You can get decaf espresso with the milk. Probably has some residual caffeine but not much.

About this I was not shocked.

What did surprise me though, is that chai lattes are made using a chai syrup, not brewed tea. You're brewing a gazillion things in there, you can't brew me some fresh chai?

You might be looking for a "Dirty Chai", which is brewed chai tea with a shot of espresso.

I love those pumpkin spice lattes - soooo freakin' good. I don't care if they don't have pumpkin in them, I really don't.

Who wants to drink pureed pumpkin anyway. That's actually kind of a gross thought.

So true. I think that people like to taste the pumpkin pie type spices in their lattes, not actual pureed pumpkin (gross).

You can get your latte made with decaf, you should try one!

Yes, I was disappointed when I found out about that as well. A friend who used to work there told me when I could not figure out how to make a chai latte at home taste as good as it does at SB.

They use Tazo brand syrup -- you can buy it at Safeway if you want to make your own at home.
