A Grande (16 fl oz) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Chai has 260 calories, 43 g sugar, 4.5 g fat and about 55 mg of caffeine. A Tall has 170 calories and a Venti 350. Chai concentrate and pumpkin sauce are both sweetened, so sugar rises quickly with size.
Seasonal drink, may not be available right now. Starbucks.com listed it on the US menu when we checked on October 24, 2026, but it is part of Starbucks' fall menu, so check the Starbucks app before you order.
What's in a Pumpkin Spice Chai
Starbucks steams 2% milk with chai concentrate and pumpkin spice sauce, then finishes it with pumpkin spice topping. The recipe uses 3 / 4 / 5 pumps of pumpkin spice sauce and 3 / 4 / 5 pumps of chai concentrate for Tall / Grande / Venti, per Starbucks recipe data.
Milk and customization swaps
Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.
| Swap | Effect on calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fewer pumpkin sauce pumps | Fewer calories and sugar | The biggest lever |
| Fewer chai pumps | Fewer calories and sugar | Lighter spice |
| Nonfat milk | Fewer calories and less fat | 2% milk is the default |
| Oatmilk or almondmilk | Varies | Almondmilk is usually lighter |
Milk effects show direction only. Starbucks doesn't publish per-milk nutrition for this drink, so the calculator estimates swaps.
Syrup pumps and calories
Pumpkin spice sauce: 3 / 4 / 5 pumps (Tall / Grande / Venti); Chai concentrate: 3 / 4 / 5 pumps (Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.
Lower-calorie ways to order
- Ask for 2 pumps of pumpkin sauce in a Grande.
- Switch to nonfat milk.
- Order a Tall: 170 calories.
