Lipton Chai Latte Questions & Answers
When will Lipton chai latte spiced be available in QLD Australia
My favourite Chai Latte sachets disappeared again. Surely we could buy these on-one rather than through a supermarket chain?? They are nearly twice the price of similar brands so it can’t be a price point??
I wrote to Lipton about chai latte sachets disappearing again. They advised me the entire chai latte range has been deleted due to the cost of shelf prices in supermarkets and competition. I suggested selling online or moving away from sachets to help with cost i.e. tin with scoop. Im very disappointed they have deleted this range. I drink it daily and nothing else compares.
Perhaps it’s time to veto their entire range. There are plenty of other brands on the market unfortunately their chai was the best. If they are not interested in what their consumers want … time to avoid them as a consumer.
So very disappointing.....I have discovered another product that I would like to share with you.....Celestial Seasoning, Bengal Spice, herbal tea bags x 20 for $5 from Coles. I find them a little strong in flavour (I am making 2 cups of tea with 1 bag) hope you enjoy them too!
Thanks Jacki D...I'll give them a try.
I am totally disappointed too. Selling them online would be a great idea- Amazon use to have them or they could try Catch. I have tried all the other brands only to throw them all in the bin.
Yep. I've not found anything similar either. Looks like NZ sell them still but shipping is ridiculously expensive. Still very disappointed.
So disappointed as it is the only one I like.
What is happening ???
I can't find Lipton chai latte classic anywhere, I don't drink anything else, especially in the morning, I can't start my day without it !!!
Try IGA I've been able to get it no worries

When Woolworths deleted Lipton Chai Latte Vanilla & Classic variants, I was told they were available in Coles. Now Coles have deleted both of them as well ? I cannot believe it is from lack of sales. Has it anything to do with the fact they are both made in Indonesia and the concerns over the current breakout of Foot and Mouth disease ??
I'm in Hervey Bay and also cannot buy Chai Latte anywhere
It is interesting that there are a lot of comments from consumers about the unavailability of these products but nothing from Unilever, the manaufacturers ! Do you not care what your customers think ? At least give us all an answer on what is going on with the deletions.

Why are you taking Lipton Chai tea off the shelves and replacing it with an inferior product? We only just got Lipton back into the supermarkets less than a year ago, even if it is not as good as it was before the change of packaging and change in no sugar, it is certainly far superior to what is being offered now.
I agree totally with the above review, I was very dissatisfied to see I cannot buy the Lipton Chai Latte Classic again, after it taking so long to come back into the shops it is now being discontinued, will it be replaced with a similar product?
G'day I'm in far nth Queensland and like to add there's 9 of us in my small town that neither iga or Coles have Lipton Chai Latte Classic. This is the only one that we all drink. Tried others don't even come close to Lipton s to the point neither shops stock the inferior brands at least have it that we can order Lipton's Chai Latte Classic from your mail order section. Cut out the shelf charges. Thanks
Why are you taking Chai Latte satchets off the shelves
Because it is the best Chai I have ever tasted
Agreed. I will only drink Lipton's Chai Latte Classic. I dislike every other chai latte brand and do not even like the Lipton's vanilla and spiced versions as they are all too sweet. Classic is obviously the most popular choice as it is the first to disappear off the shelves every time. BRING IT BACK!
I too cannot find Lipton's Chai Latte in Woolies or Coles and I've tried others - they're pretty ordinary. I only like Lipton's. I'm so hugely disappointed.
I have been finding it in Woolworths again most times. But I loved the Vanilla one but it's not available apparently.
Why change the taste of Lipton's Chai Latte? Yes the packaging has revamped, but I no longer like the taste, as it as now Fat Free and not much taste at all. Had to swap to Tetley's when I could no longer buy your product and will be staying with that brand now. 12 months was a long time to wait patiently for an inferior product.
Loved the old flavour, have tried others while Lipton was unavailable and still have a couple of old sachets and comparing the old with the new, the old is just so yummy. Why mess with it as it seems most customers prefer the old flavour. Please bring it back. The new packaging is rather insignificent and the product gets lost on the shelves. Why on earth did you ever change anything?
Why is this Lipton’s Chai Latte Tea not available in other country’s like Canada? I have been to Australia 27 times due to my husband coming from there and still has all his siblings there. On my visits there I was introduced to Lipton’s Chai Latte and just can’t get enough of it....... please inform me if this product can come into Canada j.l.zarb@hotmail.ca
I have read all the reviews currently on line - all seem to be frustrated that the are unable to source Lipton’s Chai Latte and no one is able to give them a straight answer when they make an enquiry!!! Unilever, how about giving a straight honest answer so customers will know if they are ever going to be able to purchase their Lipton’s Chai Latte again.
Have contacted Lipton...they are changing their packaging Classic will be back on shelves late January and Vanilla Chai will return to shelves Feb-March.
Good to hear, always running out of product and it is my favourite.
I bought a box at Coles last week. Submitted a review, which they are not publishing. I am not happy as they have changed not only the packaging, but the recipe, it is not the same! It seems to be watery (not frothy and creamy), and lacks flavour. Comparing ingredients to the old version, they have changed the the soy/soy lecithin compound, and one other emulsifier. Not acceptable!
I have given up on the product (Chai Latte) and the producer (lLipton, Unilever) I think they are selling us all a load of crap. If they can’t be honest then they shouldn’t say anything.
I'm using the lack of Lipton Chai Latte on shelves to quit a very unhealthy habit.!
omg the new ones are Crap cakes poo!! Bring back the old!!
Why has Lipton Chia Latte become unavailable in Woolworths Huonville Tasmania 7109 supermarket
They are updating their packaging...will be back on shelves in the New Year Feb-March.
Thank you for your reply looking forward to seeing it back
I've made several calls to Unilever, the company that makes the Lipton Chai Latte, and they claimed it was ready to be sold at Coles supermarket, and it even appeared in Coles's brochure last week, but it's still not on the shelves.
The person at my local Coles supermarket, has told me that many people have come in looking for the Lipton Chai Latte, and he's frustrated and embarrassed it's not on the shelves, even after appearing on the front page of last week's brochure.
So to answer your question Lorraine, it cannot be far away...
We are waiting for Liptons Chai Latte to be available in Perth Western Australia. Preferably the 16 sachet pack.
Hope we can get it in Tasmania soon also my favorite drink
I've being trying to source Lipton Chai Latte both for myself and my 88 year old Mum. Mum pleaded with me yesterday to find some. Is this no longer available or is it coming back on to Supermarket shelves as indicated in some posts above. There is no other chai latte as good. Please bring it back.
Kaye I've looked in the supermarkets each week and found none, Yesterday I checked out 3 supermarkets in a different area and still none. I'm unable to find out why from Lipton.
Thanks, I have contacted Lipton myself but have received no reply so far.
Hi Kaye, I have contacted Lipton re Chai Latte.... the best yet... unable to say when available.
Please bring back the Lipton Chai Latte....literally going through withdrawal!!!! Nothing beats the taste of the Lipton Chai Latter sachets!!
I was told by Lipton that it probably won't be back until March 2021 which my husband is not happy about. In the meantime he is drinking the Woolworths brand Chai which he said is nowhere as good but dinks it as a fill in.
Liptons keep saying "please be assured that our Lipton Chai latte is still manufactured and we're doing our best to bring back the stock numbers." - That was 3 months ago. It is now December, there is no stock ANYWHERE. I think they are waiting for ingredients from China, and it is not coming/held-up. What are they putting in the ingredients? And particularly....now that relations with China have soured, what will they be putting in the ingredients?
Liptons need to answer this question - when will this product be available. Reading below, people are being told different times from October through early next year. When is this really going to happen????
Hi Deb haven't heard but would love it to be sooner rather than later
Help!!! I miss my Chai Latte and by the number of people saying the same thing it looks as though Lipton need to increase their production of it. I can see it selling out quickly when it does come into the stores, it'll be the repeat of the covid toilet roll debacle.
Hi we love your chai latte product but haven’t been able to source it in any of the local shops on the Central Coast NSW . Could you please provide some info why this is not available . Thank you Brian Parker [Personal details removed]
Why can’t I get my chai latte. Please please please bring it back. Mark
I checked this out last week and replied to someone else. The story is - there won’t be any more til early next year (Obviously have underestimated the demand) They said that some Foodworks stores might have the vanilla version but I haven’t tried to get any.
Where can we get Liptons Chai Latte Sachets
According to Lipton, sadly, they won’t be available til early next year. However I was told today that some “Foodworks” have the vanilla version.
I just rang them and they said it should be available by the end of this month in Supermarkets
I also just spoke to Lipton and they said they’ve had issues keeping up with demands and it should be back late October/early November
Its december and l still cant gind it anywhere...dud get vanilla from iga but not the same the orginal
It isn't just Woolworths and Coles that no longer seem to be stocking Lipton's Chai Latte. It has suddenly disappeared from the shelves of Foodland in South Australia. I am devastated! It has been my favourite tea for years now. I tried the only available other alternative -Tetley's Chai Latte, but it was horrible. I am hoping that it just a temporary lack of supply issue, not a true discontinued line.
I called Lipton and they said it will be back on shelves,by late October or November... They said it’s just out of stock for the moment. Let’s hope this is true!
I’m going to call them tomorrow to find out what’s going on! You’re very right Marianne - there’s nothing else decent out there to have at home!
Definitely the taste has changed with the new lipton chai latte. It is not creamy and seems watery
I'm not very happy with the removal of the lipton chai latte sachets. Please listen to your consumers and return this much loved and sort after product. Whose idea was it to discontinue these lovely chai lattes??
