Does dunkin chai latte have coffee in it

The Dunkin' chai latte was the cheapest of the bunch.

First, I headed to Dunkin' for a hot chai latte.

I ordered a medium (24 ounces) for $3.19, which ended up being the biggest drink and the best value. 

The latte was ultra-creamy, but it lacked spice.

Dunkin' describes its chai latte as blending spices like "cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg" with milk.

I found this description to be pretty spot-on. It was lacking the ultra-spicy, black-peppery punch found in most chai, and it was pretty sweet with 40 grams of sugar.

I didn't notice any foam when drinking it, but the drink was smooth, thick, and creamy, which I liked. 

Starbucks had one of the most expensive chai lattes per ounce.

Starbucks' tall (12 ounces) hot chai latte cost $4.25.

According to the chain, the drink is "infused with cinnamon, clove, and other warming spices" and "combined with steamed milk and topped with foam for the perfect balance of sweet and spicy"

It really was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors.

I was impressed with Starbucks' chai latte.

Since the 12-ounce drink had 32 grams of sugar, I expected it to be way too sweet for me. But the warming spices really balanced everything. 

The drink itself was really creamy with a nice frothy topping.

I wasn't sure about Panera's chai latte at first.

Panera says its chai latte combines "black tea, honey, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and foamed milk."

I ordered a small (16 ounces) for $5.29, which seemed super expensive until I broke it down by ounce. 

It was pretty spicy, which helped balance all the sugar.

Panera's chai was spicy, but it wasn't the spiciest of the day.

I liked that it didn't taste too sweet, despite containing a whopping 48 grams of sugar.

It had some foam on the top right when I ordered it, but it dissolved quickly into a creamy blend.

Peet's chai latte was just as pricey per ounce as Starbucks'.

Peet's chai latte is described as "teas and spices, lightly sweetened, with steamed milk."

I ordered a small (12 ounces), which cost me $4.25.

The latte was extra spicy with a strong, earthy flavor.

Peet's was the least sweet of the bunch, despite having more sugar than the Starbucks version at 33 grams. It was also, therefore, the spiciest of the four lattes

It had a surprisingly earthy taste that almost reminded me of the flavor of butternut squash.

The consistency was a bit thinner than the others, with a lightly foamy top.

In terms of taste, the Starbucks chai latte was my top choice.

I enjoyed all four chai lattes, but the one from Starbucks was my favorite. I thought it balanced spicy and sweet really well, and the consistency of the creamy drink and the foamy topping was ideal.

But at $0.35 an ounce, it was tied with Peet's for the most expensive drink of the day.

Panera's chai latte was my second favorite. It was creamy and smooth, and it had a nice flavor. It was a little spicier than I would've liked, which is why it came in just behind Starbucks' chai.

Although it was the most out-right expensive option, it was larger than Starbucks', so it ended up being $0.33 an ounce.

Dunkin's chai latte offered the highest value by far at $0.13 an ounce. It was really creamy, but it was lacking enough spice to really taste like chai.

Peet's latte was the spiciest of the four. I liked this drink, but the unexpected earthy flavor wasn't my favorite, and it was tied for most expensive at $0.35 an ounce.
