Never heard of it I confess.

I've heard the,  presumably related, term char, meaning a cup of black
tea (as in tea without milk, not black leaves!). And when I've been
in India I've heard tea called chai, but again it wasn't spiced,
just plain old tea without milk. But I've never heard of chai being
used in the UK, certainly not in Scotland!.

And I'm familiar with coffee latte, but like your waiter I'd never
heard of chai and latte being used together. So I too might have
brought you coffee and tea mixed! :-)

PS.
I tasted the Nestle's chai when I was in Australia and your
description accords with my findings! :-(
