Calories in Starbucks Chai Tea are practically nothing — 7 calories in a Tall, Short or Grande, and just 14 in a Venti, since this is a plain brewed tea bag steeped in hot water with no milk or sweetener added.
Carbs sit at 0.6g and sugar at 0.3g in a Grande, both essentially trace amounts from the tea leaves themselves. This is the base tea before it becomes anything else on the menu — order it exactly like this and you’re basically drinking hot spiced water with almost zero nutritional footprint.
If you want the fuller, creamier version of this same spice blend, Chai Tea Latte adds steamed milk on top, turning this into a completely different drink calorie-wise.
