«C is for Chai which revives me without caffeine»
Well, not much caffeine: about a third as much as coffee (10 Things You Should Know About Chai, Caffeine Informer: Chai Tea, Wikipedia).
I've always wanted to see a product (nonexistent AFAIK) called
_____
חי
Чай
Hebrew 'life', starting with a "kh" sound and rhyming with "eye", plus
Russian 'tea', probably source of our word "chai" (orig. from Mandarin "chá" 茶).
Kosher, of course— not that tea of any kind is likely not to be.

Although I bet there is decaf chai mix since hardly any coffee shop makes it from anything except that mix-syrup these days. Thanks for catching that one. :D
