Chai is good. If you have free time it's fun to experiment with making your own. SpecialTeas.com has a variety of cheap black teas that work well, and the other decent site is uptontea.com, which is actually based just outside Boston. Then the rest of the ingredients you can get from the supermarket. There are a bunch of decent recipes online; I usually use the one from the rec.food.drink.tea FAQ
I buy black tea with chai spices in it already, and mix it with vanilla, honey, and milk myself. The preparation is as important to the experience as the beverage itself.
Good stuff. I'm infamous at my local coffee shops for ordering it as straight concentrate. Not often, though. Usually just to keep me awake through classes following an all-nighter.
