Review
The Iced Chai Tea Latte with Oleato Golden Foam is a next-level take on the classic chai, and honestly, it feels like a treat from the moment you see it. The caramel tones of the chai base and that smooth, golden foam on top make it look like a fancy dessert in a cup.
Taking the first sip, you get that warm, spiced chai flavor you know and love—cinnamon, cardamom, a bit of ginger—mixed with the cooling effect of ice and creamy milk. But it’s the Oleato Golden Foam that steals the show. This isn’t just your usual foam; it’s infused with a touch of olive oil, which gives it a rich, buttery texture that feels almost silky on your palate.
It blends into the chai as you sip, adding a velvety layer to the spices, which tones down the sweetness and enhances the warmth. It’s subtle, not greasy at all, and adds an unexpected depth to the flavor.
Compared to other Starbucks iced drinks, the Iced Chai Tea Latte with Oleato Golden Foam is refreshingly unique. While many drinks focus on fruity or sweet notes, this one offers a savory, creamy contrast that’s truly memorable. The foam adds a sophistication that takes the chai latte experience up a notch.
