The viral purple superfood meets wild berries in a bagless, dissolvable tea blend now available exclusively at TeaDrops.com
Encinitas, CA — May 27, 2026 — Tea Drops, the Oprah-favorite, USDA Organic bagless tea brand that has sold over 3 million cups worldwide, today announced the launch of Ube Berries Tea Drops, a vibrant new blend pairing the beloved Filipino purple yam with sun-ripened berries. Designed as the brand's signature flavor for summer 2026, Ube Berries is available now exclusively on TeaDrops.com in flexible 5-pack bundles and a curated retail box of 10 drops.
Ube (pronounced OO-beh) has captivated the culinary world over the past several years, taking over bakeries, cafés, and ice cream shops with its striking lavender-purple hue and naturally sweet, vanilla-like flavor. Native to the Philippines, ube has been cherished in Southeast Asian cuisine for centuries and is now stepping into the spotlight as one of the most exciting superfoods of the decade. Tea Drops is the first major U.S. tea brand to bring ube into a dissolvable, ready-to-brew format.
"Ube isn't just a trend — it's a celebration of heritage, color, and wellness all in one cup," said Sashee Chandran, Founder and CEO of Tea Drops. "We paired it with bright summer berries to create something that feels both nostalgic and entirely new. It's the tea you'll want in your glass at every backyard gathering, beach day, and slow Sunday morning this summer."
A Cup with Real Health Credentials
Ube and berries are each powerhouses in their own right. Together, they create a brew that is as functional as it is beautiful:
- Rich in anthocyanins, the same purple-pigment antioxidants found in blueberries and acai, which support cellular health and combat oxidative stress
- Naturally high in vitamin C and fiber, supporting immune function and digestive wellness
- A source of complex carbohydrates and resistant starch that may help support steady energy and gut health
- Berries contribute additional polyphenols linked in research to heart health, brain function, and healthy aging
- Caffeine-free and naturally sweet, making it a refreshing option for any time of day — hot or iced
Built for Summer Sipping
Ube Berries Tea Drops dissolve completely in hot or cold water, leaving no bags, no waste, and a stunning ombré purple cup. The blend is especially designed for iced tea, lemonade fusions, sparkling tea spritzers, and even cocktail or mocktail bases.
