Ube Latte: the trendy drink that will dethrone your matcha coffee ☕💜

Once upon a time, there was a purple sweet potato from the Philippines who dreamed of stealing the show from matcha. Spoiler: it almost did.

A new star is born: the ube latte

We've seen matcha, gold latte, chai, mushroom coffee... And now the ube latte has arrived with great fanfare . This purple latte (ultra photogenic, let's not kid ourselves) is conquering coffee shops and Insta stories around the world.

But what exactly is an ube latte? It's a hot (or iced) drink made with ube powder (that famous purple tuber), plant-based milk (or not), a hint of sugar or syrup... and a good dose of pleasure.

Its creamy texture, pop of color and mild, slightly vanilla flavor make it a serious competitor to your traditional matcha latte.

Why is ube latte so popular?

1. Visually, it's a bomb 💣

Let's be honest: we eat (and drink) with our eyes. And purple ube rocks! Its natural, intense, and vibrant purple color makes the ube latte an Instagram hit.

2. It’s good for your health (and morale)

Ube powder , rich in antioxidants , vitamins and minerals, is a true wellness ally. Unlike coffee or matcha, ube latte is not caffeinated and does not cause anxiety spikes or energy crashes.

Its slightly sweet taste and creamy texture offer a moment of total comfort, ideal for busy work days or cozy Sundays.
