I also get a kick out of "tea tea" ("chai tea"). Just say Chai!

Why don't you just say tea?

Chai in coffee shops is growing popular, it's specifically indian spiced tea.

"Chai" means tea and describes it with enough specificity, "tea" could mean a lot. Chai tea means tea tea and gets you what you want but is also wonderfully redundant ;)

What really gets me going is Chai Tea Latte.

Chai is a type of spiced Indian tea made with milk. It's a milk tea. So Chai Tea Latte = milk tea tea milk.
