Ube Powder

TeaFit Ube Powder is made from a single ingredient: real ube (purple yam), imported from the Philippines and finely milled into powder. There is no added sugar, no maltodextrin, no artificial flavour, and no added colour. The violet-purple shade you see comes entirely from the root itself.

No. TeaFit Ube Powder contains no added sugar and no maltodextrin, a starch-based filler often used to bulk out flavoured powders that counts as added sugar under FSSAI norms even when a label does not call it "sugar." Each 1.5g serving carries 2g of total carbohydrate, coming from the starch naturally present in the yam.

TeaFit Ube Powder has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, a reasonable choice for diabetic-conscious lifestyles. Each serving supplies just 2g of carbohydrate from the yam's own starch, in a small 1.5g dose. Individual dietary needs vary, so checking with a healthcare provider for specific conditions is advisable.

TeaFit imports real ube from the Philippines, the crop's country of origin, where purple yam has been cultivated and cooked with for generations. The root is dried and finely milled into powder before it reaches India, brought in as a finished ingredient by Battlestar Food Tech Pvt Ltd rather than grown or processed domestically.

TeaFit Ube Powder can be prepared two ways.
For a latte,
Step 1: Add 1-2 tsp Ube Powder to a cup
Step 2: Pour 120ml hot milk, around 80 degrees Celsius, over the powder
Step 3: Stir well and enjoy your latte
For a smoothie or dessert,
Step 1: Add 1-2 tsp Ube Powder to a blender
Step 2: Add fruit, milk, or yogurt, and blend
Step 3: Enjoy your smoothie or dessert

No. Ube is a root vegetable, not a tea leaf, so TeaFit Ube Powder is naturally caffeine-free rather than decaffeinated. It sits at the caffeine-free end of the TeaFit range alongside Sukku Malli and Turmeric Latte, distinct from tea-based SKUs such as Masala Tea and Karak Tea, which draw their caffeine from real Assam tea leaf.

Ube Powder itself is a single-ingredient root powder, with no gluten, tree nuts, or dairy in its composition. The pack carries a precautionary "may contain gluten" statement and discloses that it is manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts and milk extracts, so cross-contact is possible even though none of these are added ingredients.

Yes. Ube Powder contains no dairy or animal-derived ingredients on its own, so it works with oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk exactly as it does with dairy milk. The mildly sweet, earthy flavour of the root pairs particularly well with oat milk's own natural sweetness.

Fresh ube, boiled, peeled, and mashed by hand, gives a denser, more traditional texture suited to dishes like halaya. TeaFit Ube Powder trades some of that fresh-root texture for consistency, instant blending, and a shelf life that does not depend on finding fresh ube, which is not commonly stocked in Indian grocery stores.

Many commodity ube mixes sold as instant drink powders lean on added sugar, maltodextrin filler, and synthetic purple dye or ube flavouring rather than real ube, since fresh ube is not cultivated in India at scale. TeaFit Ube Powder is 100% real ube, with no added sugar, no maltodextrin, and no artificial colour.

Ube carries a mild, naturally sweet, earthy flavour that sits close to sweet potato and vanilla, without the sharp starchiness of a raw yam. TeaFit's fine milling keeps the flavour smooth rather than gritty, and the taste comes through gently in milk-based drinks rather than dominating the cup.

Yes. Being naturally caffeine-free, Ube Powder fits into a daily routine at any time of day, with no need to watch timing the way caffeinated drinks call for. A single 1.5g serving carries just 4 calories and 2g of carbohydrate, so it fits easily into a daily latte, smoothie, or breakfast bowl.

Ube's violet-purple colour comes from anthocyanins, the same class of water-soluble plant pigments responsible for the colour in purple cabbage, blueberries, and black rice. These pigments occur naturally in the yam's flesh and survive the drying and milling process, which is why TeaFit Ube Powder needs no added colour to achieve its shade.

Store the pouch in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture, resealing tightly after each use. TeaFit Ube Powder carries a shelf life of 12 months from the packaging date when stored this way, with the manufacturing and use-by dates printed on the back panel.

TeaFit Ube Powder comes in a 50g resealable pouch with about 30 servings at 1.5g each. It carries FSSAI licence number 11519005001018, and is imported under Battlestar Food Tech Pvt Ltd's Tea Board licence, TB/LC/E-12816, with no third-party organic certification listed.

Bottled ube extract is concentrated for baking, but most extracts are pale or colourless alone and are usually paired with a separate purple food colouring to get the shade bakers want. TeaFit Ube Powder carries its own anthocyanin colour with its flavour, colouring and flavouring a batter or drink without a second bottle of dye.

TeaFit Ube Powder works as a drink and a cooking ingredient: whisked into a hot or iced latte, blended into a smoothie or breakfast bowl, or folded into idli batter or bread dough for colour that holds through cooking.
