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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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