Ube lattes and matcha lattes are taking over trendy coffee shops thanks to their striking colours and distinct flavours. Discover their origins, potential benefits, how to prepare them, and how to choose the one that suits you best.
Ube is a traditional purple yam from the Philippines, loved for generations. Turned into a sweet purée for ube halaya or mixed into fruit desserts like halo-halo, it delivers a vibrant purple colour and a gentle flavour often compared to vanilla and pistachio.
As a powder or purée, ube is now used in indulgent lattes, frozen desserts, and pastries.
Matcha is a centuries-old Japanese green tea made from shade-grown leaves. Its careful stone-grinding process concentrates antioxidants and chlorophyll. Used in the tea ceremony, matcha embodies a calm, intentional art of living.
Its vibrant green powder is prized both in recipes and for its naturally energising profile.
Ube contains anthocyanins, antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and protect cells. Thanks to its fibre, it can support digestion and help stabilise blood sugar. Naturally rich in vitamin C, it also supports the immune system.
With no caffeine, an ube latte can be enjoyed any time — even in the evening. Its generally lower glycaemic impact makes it appealing for those watching their sugar intake (depending on sweeteners used).
Matcha is uniquely rich in catechins, especially EGCG, which may support heart health and help slow oxidative ageing. Its gentle caffeine combined with L-theanine can provide energy and focus without the jittery feeling some get from coffee.
It also naturally contains vitamins like K and C. For the best experience, choose a quality grade such as our organic ceremonial matcha.

For an ube latte, mix 1–2 tsp of ube powder with a little hot water. Add 250 ml hot or cold milk, sweeten to taste, then enjoy.
Sift 1–s2 g of matcha, add about 50 ml water at 80°C, then whisk. Pour in 200 ml frothed milk. Follow our full step-by-step tutorial.
Ube powder is widely available online and in specialty shops, often at approachable prices (depending on quality and origin).
Organic ceremonial matcha typically sits at a higher price point, reflecting craftsmanship, origin, and processing quality.
Choose an ube latte for a cosy, caffeine-free treat, and a matcha latte for a gentle morning boost. Both can fit your routine — it’s all about your taste and the moment.

Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines, used as a powder or sweet purée in colourful desserts and drinks.
Rich in anthocyanins and fibre, ube may support inflammation balance and digestion — and it’s naturally caffeine-free.
An ube latte combines ube powder or purée, milk (dairy or plant-based) and a sweetener for a creamy, caffeine-free drink.
Use a spoon and a small whisk to emulsify 1–2 g of matcha with milk (hot or cold) until smooth.
Ube is purple and more floral-sweet, while sweet potato is usually milder and orange.
Go for a matcha latte for gentle energy and umami flavour, or an ube latte for a sweet, caffeine-free treat.
