Twinings Classic Chai offers a 4 × 20-envelope option if you want 80 bags of black-tea chai. If avoiding caffeine matters more, four 20-bag packs of Pukka Vanilla Chai make an 80-bag supply, but they are a herbal infusion rather than black tea. Whichever you choose, keep hot drinks out of a baby’s reach and do not hold a baby and a hot drink together.
Black-tea chai and caffeine-free herbal chai are different choices. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or reducing caffeine for another reason, check the tea base and account for caffeine from other food and drinks too.
Check whether 80 bags are offered as a 4 × 20 selection or require you to order four separate 20-bag packs. A 15-bag pack will not add up to exactly 80 in whole packs.
Choose a preparation routine that lets you put a hot cup somewhere out of reach before picking up or carrying a baby. NHS-linked Healthier Together guidance says never to hold a baby and a hot drink at the same time.
Start with the tea base, then check how the pack count reaches 80 and whether the preparation suits your routine.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack count | Twinings lists Classic Chai as 4 × 20 envelopes. Pukka Vanilla Chai and Sainsbury’s Chai are sold in 20-bag packs; Teapigs Chai has 15 tea temples. | I want to order enough for 80 cups without mistaking one small pack for an 80-bag carton. |
| Caffeine | Check whether the exact blend contains black tea. Pukka Vanilla Chai is described as caffeine-free; Twinings Classic Chai, Clipper Indian Chai, Teapigs Chai and Sainsbury’s Chai contain black tea. NHS guidance recommends no more than 200 mg of caffeine a day while breastfeeding; Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust also advises a 200 mg daily limit during pregnancy. | If I am limiting caffeine, the blend matters more than the number of bags. I also need to count caffeine from other food and drinks. |
| Preparation | Check the maker’s brewing instructions and ingredients. Sainsbury’s gives a method using a pan of milk for its chai; Teapigs describes its Assam black-tea chai as suitable with milk. | I may want to prepare chai with milk rather than simply add it to a brewed cup. |
| Hot-drink safety | Plan where the cup will stand while you care for a child. NHS-linked Healthier Together guidance says to keep hot drinks out of children’s reach and never hold a baby and a hot drink together. | Before picking up a baby, I need somewhere safe to put a freshly made drink. |
