💜 Ube Latte: The New Must-Have Wellness Drink
With its naturally vibrant purple color and gentle sweetness, the ube latte is quickly gaining popularity in wellness circles and specialty cafés. Originally from the Philippines, this eye-catching drink is now making waves in cities like Paris, where food lovers are embracing it as a colorful, caffeine-free alternative to traditional lattes.
What Exactly Is an Ube Latte?
An ube latte is made by blending warm milk with ube powder, a natural ingredient derived from the purple yam, also known as ube in Filipino cuisine. Long used in traditional desserts, ube is celebrated for its rich violet hue and unique flavor, a mix of vanilla, coconut, and a hint of nuttiness.
At Ube Lab, we use only 100% pure ube powder, with no additives or artificial coloring. Just the real purple yam, steamed, dried, and ready to stir into your favorite drinks or pastries.
Why Everyone's Talking About Purple Yam
Ube doesn’t just look beautiful, t’s packed with benefits too. Naturally rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins (the pigments behind its deep purple color), ube helps protect the body from oxidative stress and supports brain health and memory.
It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion and gut health, and contains vitamins A and C to help boost the immune system and support healthy, glowing skin.
And because ube powder is low in calories and caffeine-free, the ube latte is the perfect drink for any time of day , especially if you're looking for something sweet without the crash.
Why We Love It at Ube Lab
We fell in love with ube the same way we did with matcha, through flavor, color, and a little bit of curiosity. After discovering the richness of this purple ingredient, we knew we had to share it.
That’s why we created Ube Lab’s pure ube powder: to make it easy to enjoy this vibrant superfood in everyday drinks and recipes.
