I'm drinking a lovely chai tea (for any of you who go to Starbucks, I'm drinking one of their chai tea lattes) right now and I was thinking...are there any heath benefits I could get from chai? Do they have antioxidants (spelling?) like green tea does? I'm just curious. For anyone who has the facts, please tell! Thanks!

Chai tea is merely a black tea with cardamon, and cinnamon,
and a few other spices. All black and green teas are bene-
ficial in minimizing the risk for cancer, according to the info
in magazines and on TV.

As far as drinking green tea of chai tea (plain) for taste, chai tea beats green tea any day. Yumm! But as far as nutritional benefits, green tea is the way to go. I only drink chai tea occasionally as a treat. It is full of calories and sugar! Green tea is basically a cup of water, with antioxidants.

Any tea has benefits, but they are superimposed by adding high fat milk or cream, and flavourings.
I just find it so odd that it's call chai tea. The word 'chai' means tea, so you are drinking tea tea. Just strange.

Black chai has tein.it release your water and mineral from your body more than it must. inside, it has a antioxinans. but green tea is very good. but you shouldn't drink more a cup a day.

I love Starbucks' green tea latte (nonfat) with raspberry syrup. I think all tea has antioxidants but green tea is especially high.
