Purple, creamy and just a little unexpected — this is not your usual latte.
Our ube latte brings real Filipino ube together with Indian kesar to create a drink that feels indulgent without becoming a dessert in a glass. Think vanilla, white chocolate and a soft nutty note, all wrapped up in a beautifully creamy cup.
Ube has gone from Filipino kitchens to everything from Magnolia ube ice cream and cheesecakes to ube boba and café drinks. We wanted to bring that same excitement home to India, with a nostalgic spin and a functional benefit.
Ube is the Filipino name for purple yam, also known as ube yam or ube purple yam. Botanically called Dioscorea alata, it has been part of Filipino desserts and celebrations for generations.
And that gorgeous purple? It's naturally occurring. Ube gets its colour from anthocyanins, rather than needing ube food coloring to make it look the part.
The flavour is what makes it really special. A little sweet, a little nutty, creamy and surprisingly close to vanilla and white chocolate. That's why filipino ube works beautifully in everything from ube jam and cakes to ube ice cream and ube milk tea.
You might also come across ube sweet potato or taro while exploring all things ube, but they aren't the same thing. And while ube flavor products often use ube flavouring, syrups or extracts, real ube brings the actual ingredient into the experience.
We use real Filipino ube imported from the Philippines, blended with kesar for an Indian twist. The result is made with ube powder, coconut milk powder and kesar flavour, rather than relying only on an ube extract or ube essence for flavour or colour.
Each box contains 100g, divided into 20 sachets of 5g each. Every serving contains just 23 calories, about 1g of sugar occurring from natural sources, and 40mg of added L-theanine. It is sweetened with stevia and monk fruit and is completely caffeine-free.
So while a café version can become surprisingly heavy with ube syrup, condensed milk ube or condensed milk ube flavor, ours keeps the indulgence light and focused.
The signature purple colour comes naturally from ube, purple sweet potato and beetroot. There are no artificial colours, and the blend is plant-based and vegetarian.
Each 5g serving contains 40mg of L-theanine — an amino acid also found in tea. It's a separate ingredient from caffeine that helps with relaxed focus without the drowsiness.
Whether you want organic ube powder, ube powder for drinks, or ube powder for baking, this is the easy way to enjoy it. No need to source fresh ube, frozen ube, or specialty ingredients like natural ube extract or organic ube extract.
If you're comparing the best ube powder options, trying to buy ube powder, looking for ube for sale, or wondering whether you can buy ube online, you have landed at the right place.
You can always go deeper into the ube rabbit hole later, from ube syrup for coffee, ube coffee syrup and ube flavor extract to powder ube and ube powder bulk for bigger baking experiments. Even searches like best ube extract, amazon ube extract, amazon ube powder or buy ube extract make a little more sense once you've tasted the real thing.
- Take 1 sachet (5g) and add it to a glass.
- Pour in 100ml milk.
- Stir or froth until silky smooth.
- Add ice if you like your ube drink chilled.
For a warmer version, use warm milk and whisk until frothy. Oat, almond and coconut milk work beautifully too.
Once you've got the basics down, you can have fun with it — think ube tea, ube milk, ube cream, or even experimenting with ube matcha or ube coffee at home. If you love creating desserts, vegan ube ice cream and best ube cheesecake are obvious places to take it next.
What does your Ube Latte taste like?
Think thandai with an ube twist! Our Ube Latte has a sweet, aromatic kesar flavour that feels familiar from the first sip. Prepared with milk, it becomes a creamy, comforting drink.
Are ube and taro the same?
No! Ube is purple yam, while taro is a different root vegetable. Ube typically has naturally purple flesh and a sweeter, slightly nutty flavour. Taro usually has pale flesh with purple specks and a milder, earthier taste. Our Ube Latte uses ube - not taro - with a kesar flavour reminiscent of thandai.
Does your Ube Latte contain caffeine?
No, our Ube Latte premix is caffeine-free. You can enjoy it without adding caffeine to your day, unless you mix it with coffee, matcha or another caffeinated ingredient.
What are the benefits of your Ube Latte?
Our Ube Latte gives you a creamy drink ritual without caffeine, with 40mg of L-theanine and just 23 calories per 5g serving of premix. It's a delicious option when you want to cut back on coffee or enjoy something different during your afternoon break. Milk and toppings add to the final calorie count.
How many calories are in your Ube Latte?
Our lab-tested nutrition report confirms 23 calories per 5g serving of Ube Latte premix. This is before adding milk, plant-based milk or toppings — the calories in your finished latte depend on how you prepare it.
Can Ube Latte replace my second cup of coffee?
Absolutely! If you want to reduce your caffeine intake, our Ube Latte makes a delicious caffeine-free coffee alternative. Swap your second cup for a creamy kesar-flavoured drink and keep the afternoon ritual without another serving of caffeine.
Can I mix Ube Latte powder with water?
You can, but milk gives you the best flavour and texture. Mixing our ube powder for drinks with water creates a thinner, less creamy drink. We recommend dairy milk or your preferred plant-based milk for a richer Ube Latte.
