Every chai at Dutch Bros starts from the same place: an Oregon Chai concentrate — sweetened black tea carrying cinnamon, cardamom and cloves — cut with milk. Hot, iced or blended, that base doesn't change. What changes is the syrup you put on top of it, and that is where both the standard board and the long secret list come from.

What's in a chai
The component parts, and what you can change about each one:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Base | Sweetened black tea infused with cinnamon and cardamom |
| Milk | 2% milk by default; oat, almond or coconut milk available |
| Flavors | Vanilla, caramel, white chocolate, or seasonal syrups |
| Toppings | Whipped cream, Soft Top, caramel drizzle, chocolate drizzle |
| Serving styles | Hot, iced or blended |
| Custom add-ins | Espresso shot, extra syrup, or sprinkles |
Adding an espresso shot turns any chai into a Dirty Chai. Adding a shotand a flavoured syrup makes it a Filthy Chai. Both are standard asks, not secret-menu items.
Chai calories
Chai is a milk drink, so the numbers land closer to a latte than to a brewed tea. Hot runs higher than iced at every size — an iced cup is part ice.
| Chai | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chai — hot | 230 | 310 | 390 |
| Chai — iced | 160 | 230 | 310 |
Named builds, once the syrups and toppings are in:
| Chai build | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chai Latte — hot | 500 | 610 | 730 |
| Chai Latte — iced | 410 | 520 | 650 |
| Golden Eagle Chai — hot | 500 | 610 | 730 |
| Golden Eagle Chai — iced | 410 | 520 | 650 |
| White Chocolate Chai Latte | 230 | 310 | 390 |
| Christmas Morning Chai | 360 | 430 | 510 |
| White Zombie Chai | 380 | 460 | 540 |
| Dirty Chai | 220 | 290 | 360 |
The Golden Eagle Chai — chai with vanilla, caramel and a caramel drizzle — is the most-ordered of the lot, and the most calorific. The Dirty Chai is the lightest named build on the list, because an espresso shot adds caffeine but almost no calories.
Chai secret menu
Forty-four off-menu chais. None are printed anywhere, but all of them are just the chai base plus syrups every shop already pours — so any barista can make one. Filter by a syrup you already like.

Caffeine
A standard chai carries about 70 mg of caffeine in a 16 oz medium — roughly half a coffee. Milk choice and syrups don't change that. An espresso shot does: a Dirty Chai stacks a full shot on top of the tea's caffeine.
There is no decaf chai. The caffeine is in the black tea concentrate itself, so the only way to cut it is a smaller size. For a caffeine-free warm drink, thehot cocoa menu is the place to look.
