Not earthy. Not artificial. Just quietly wonderful and it turns everything a show-stopping shade of violet. *The image is for reference purposes only. The actual colour may vary slightly due to differences in the seasonal batch. Why Our Ube Powder Is Different With ube trending harder than ever on Starbucks menus, all over TikTok, and called the new matcha, shelves are filling up with low-quality powders packed with fillers, artificial dyes, and mystery ingredients. Ours has one ingredient only. Clean, pure and nothing else. We slow-dry at low temperatures to preserve the natural anthocyanins, fragrance compounds, and vitamins that cheap spray-drying destroys. The result is a finely milled, clump-free powder that dissolves smoothly in drinks and mixes evenly into any batter. What You Can Make with Ube Ube latte: Whisk into warm oat or coconut milk with a touch of honey. Ube matcha latte: Layer with ceremonial matcha for a stunning purple-and-green latte taking over cafés and social feeds worldwide. Cakes & muffins: Add to batter for deep colour and a gently sweet, nutty crumb. Ice cream: Fold into your base for a naturally purple, café-worthy scoop. Pancakes: Stir into the mix ; they flip purple and taste incredible. Ube halaya: The classic Filipino jam, now easy to make at home. Smoothie bowls: Blend with banana and coconut milk for a vibrant breakfast. Also works beautifully in porridge, yoghurt bowls, frostings, halo-halo, and any dessert that deserves a little colour.

Measure 1–2 teaspoons One teaspoon gives a soft pastel hue and delicate flavour. Two teaspoons deliver a deeper violet and a bolder, nuttier taste. One 50g pouch yields around 15 servings. 2. Activate with warm liquid first (for drinks) Whisk the powder with a small splash of hot (not boiling) water until fully dissolved before adding your milk. This prevents clumping and brings out the colour. The purple deepens beautifully in heat. 3. Mix directly into batters & frostings For baking, stir the powder into your wet ingredients before combining with dry. It mixes evenly and holds its colour through baking — no fading, no blotches. 4. Taste and layer Ube's flavour is naturally mild and versatile. It pairs beautifully with coconut, vanilla, condensed milk, white chocolate, and honey. Or let it stand alone in a clean ube latte; you won't need much else. Quick Recipes Ube Latte Add 1 tsp Ube Powder to a mug. Pour over 2 tbsp warm water and whisk until smooth. Top with 200ml warm oat, coconut, almond, or dairy milk. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup, vanilla syrup, or condensed milk to taste. Serve warm or pour over ice. For a creamier café-style version, use coconut milk and a small splash of vanilla. Ube Matcha Latte Add 1 tsp Ube Powder to a glass. Pour over 2 tbsp warm water and whisk until smooth. Add ice, then top with 180–200ml oat, coconut, almond, or dairy milk. Whisk ½–1 tsp matcha separately with 2 tbsp warm water until smooth and lightly frothy. Pour the matcha slowly over the milk to create the signature layered purple-and-green effect. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup, vanilla syrup, or condensed milk to taste. For a richer dessert-style version, use coconut milk and a small splash of vanilla. Character Colour A rich, muted violet (between lavender and eggplant) that deepens to a warm royal purple in hot liquids. Vibrant and natural, never neon. Flavour Mildly sweet, warmly nutty, and gently creamy with quiet notes of vanilla and toasted coconut. Softer and sweeter than matcha, more fragrant than taro. Aroma Subtle and earthy-sweet with a whisper of vanilla. Delicate, nothing sharp, and it opens up gently when whisked into warm milk. Texture Finely milled and flour-like. Dissolves cleanly in warm liquids and blends evenly into batters. No clumps, no gritty patches. Storage Guide Keep it cool Store at room temperature away from the stovetop or oven. Heat accelerates the breakdown of anthocyanins, dulling the colour and weakening the flavour over time. Keep it dry Never use a wet spoon and avoid steamy spots. If the powder clumps slightly, it has absorbed moisture — still safe to use, but best sifted first. Keep it dark UV light degrades anthocyanins and fades the colour. Store in a cupboard away from direct sunlight. Always reseal after use Press the zip seal firmly closed after every use. For even longer life, transfer to a small airtight glass jar after opening. Refrigeration not required No need to refrigerate. Moving the pouch in and out of the fridge introduces condensation. A cool, dark pantry shelf is ideal. FAQs What exactly is ube powder?
