What to know about Society One Minute Tea Masala Flavour Instant Tea Premix

A masala tea premix that is mostly milk powder and sugar

A box of ten 14 g sachets (140 g) of instant masala tea premix. The list leads with milk solids, sugar and maltodextrin, followed by instant tea powder (5.9%), mix masala powder (0.7%), two phosphate emulsifiers (INS 339) and natural flavouring. It is bought as a just-add-hot-water cup for the evening, with no brewing, boiling or milk to measure.

One sachet gives about 57 kcal, 1.7 g protein and 7 g added sugar. Per 100 g the premix has 409 kcal, 11.75 g protein, 49.92 g added sugar and 4.57 g saturated fat. The protein is real and comes mostly from the milk solids, but the sugar is the larger part of what you are drinking.

The name promises masala tea, and the list does include tea and a spice mix, but both are small next to the milk powder and sugar. Nothing on the pack is hollow, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. CleanPlate scores it EB4.

Why Society One Minute Tea Masala Flavour Instant Tea Premix scores EB4

Nutrition is an E because there is no fibre or vitamin credit to offset the sugar. Ingredients are a B, held back only by the phosphate emulsifier. Risk is a 4 on 49.92 g added sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 11.75 g per 100 g, mostly from milk solids, but the grade gets no lift from it. No fibre and no vitamins or minerals are declared, and the energy of 409 kcal per 100 g comes largely from sugar and maltodextrin.

In one 14 g sachet that is about 57 kcal and 1.7 g protein, so the powder is light per cup but gives little back for its sugar.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and mostly recognisable: milk solids, sugar, maltodextrin, tea powder, a spice mix, emulsifiers and natural flavouring. No colour, no hydrogenated fat and no artificial flavour are listed, so the grade stays high.

The sodium phosphate emulsifiers (INS 339) cost ingredient points, and the flavouring costs a small amount more. Only the tea (5.9%) and masala (0.7%) have declared shares, which leaves the order of milk solids, sugar and maltodextrin without figures.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar drives the risk number: 49.92 g added sugar per 100 g, about 7 g in each sachet. It is by far the largest part of the risk score.

Energy (409 kcal per 100 g), saturated fat (4.57 g per 100 g, 0.64 g per sachet) and sodium (141.5 mg per 100 g, about 20 mg per sachet) add little next to the sugar. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g per 100 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (49.9g per 100g)

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Society One Minute Tea Masala Flavour Instant Tea Premix live up to its claims?

The name and the just-add-hot-water claim are honest, but the tea is 5.9% and the masala mix 0.7% of the powder. Milk solids, sugar and maltodextrin lead.

  • Product name

    “Masala Flavour”

    Partly true

    The mix masala powder is listed at 0.7%, with natural flavouring added. It is an honest flavour name, but the spice is a very small part of the powder.

  • Product name

    “Instant Tea Premix”

    Be careful

    Instant tea powder is 5.9% of the mix. Milk solids, sugar and maltodextrin come ahead of it in the list.

  • On the pack

    “Just Add Hot Water”

    Holds

    The milk solids are already in the powder, so hot water is all a cup needs. The pack notes that natural ingredients may leave a little residue at the bottom of the cup.

What's in Society One Minute Tea Masala Flavour Instant Tea Premix?

Milk solids, sugar and maltodextrin lead the list, with tea and masala well behind. Watch the added sugar and the phosphate emulsifier.

The ingredient list, read for you

Milk solids come first, then sugar and maltodextrin, so the powder is a milk, sugar and starch-derived base rather than mostly tea. Instant tea powder follows at 5.9% and the masala spice mix at 0.7%. The emulsifiers (INS 339 sodium phosphates) keep the powder mixing smoothly, and the flavouring is described as natural flavouring substances.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    49.92 g per 100 g, about 7 g in each 14 g sachet. It is the main reason risk lands at a 4.

  • Sodium phosphate emulsifiers (INS 339)Worth watching

    Two forms are listed, and they cost ingredient points in the grade.

  • MaltodextrinWorth watching

    The third ingredient, a refined starch that adds calories without fibre or nutrients.

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    4.57 g per 100 g from the milk solids, about 0.64 g in a sachet. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

  • Milk proteinFine

    11.75 g per 100 g, mostly from milk solids, about 1.7 g per sachet.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • No percentage is given for the milk solids, sugar or maltodextrin, only for the tea and masala.

Who should eat Society One Minute Tea Masala Flavour Instant Tea Premix?

An occasional cup for most adults, and rarely for children and teens or anyone with a heart condition, because one sachet carries about 7 g added sugar.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

  • Children and teensRarely

    Sweet by design, with a phosphate emulsifier and little else of value.

  • PregnancyOccasionally

    Milk protein is small at 1.7 g per sachet, while the added sugar is about 7 g.

  • Heart conditionsRarely

    High added sugar and 4.57 g saturated fat per 100 g outweigh the milk protein.
