There’s something about Starbucks new Iced Cherry Chai that tastes like spring. The beverage, which arrives in Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada starting on March 4, begins with Starbucks classic iced chai latte that’s topped with cherry cream cold foam and a sprinkle of crunchy topping adds a finishing touch.  

“When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture, warm spices, and notes of cherry – and it all comes together in an approachable way,” said Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for Starbucks. 

Iced Cherry Chai is making its debut this spring alongside last year’s customer-favorite Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha and Lavender Oatmilk Latte. It is also Starbucks first springtime chai beverage. Last autumn, Starbucks offered an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai as well as the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai during the holiday season. 

“There’s a fun and whimsical element to the Iced Cherry Chai, while at the same time feeling modern and sophisticated,” Altieri said.

Iced Cherry Chai joins Lavender on the Starbucks springtime menu.

“Our customers love to drink the Iced Chai Latte year-round,” Altieri said. “I’m excited to give them another way to enjoy our chai.”
