What is the pH level of a chi latte?

Answer 1

I don't have a definitive answer, but can estimate a range based on some known quantities:

Full Milk is around PH 6.5, brewed coffee is around PH 5.5. Espresso is a more concentrated form of coffee, but it is then diluted by the milk. Also, different coffees have different PH's.

Based on the above my guess is that a Chai Latte (basically a mixture of milk and concentrated coffee and non-acidic spices) is somewhere in the range PH 5.5-6.0. In terms of tooth erosion my guess is that this is a pretty safe drink, especially since milk has calcium in the mixture.

If anyone has measured this or knows more, please comment.

-Chai is a Tea, not a coffee, however a Starbucks Chai Latte uses Chai Concentrate which has Black Pepper in it. It would still not have the same amount of coffee, which is closer to 5.

Answer 2

A chai latte typically has a pH level between 6 and 7, making it slightly acidic to neutral on the pH scale. The exact pH can vary depending on the specific ingredients used to make the chai latte.
