Korean Ube Coconut Latte | Purple Yam Drink Mix | 10 Sticks

Korean Ube Coconut Latte (우베 코코넛 라떼) is a 10-stick box of instant purple latte powder made in Korea by Danongwon (다농원). Each 0.63 oz (18 g) stick blends ube powder from the Philippines with coconut cream powder and a creamy milk base, so a sweet, lavender-purple latte takes only hot water or milk.

Café-style ube drinks usually mean a trip to a specialty shop. Here, one stick and a quick stir give you a smooth, nutty-sweet purple latte at home, served hot or over ice.

At Kosbee, we hand-select authentic Korean foods and bring them to North America. Danongwon is a Korean tea maker in Eumseong, Chungcheongbuk-do, that produces its drink powders in a HACCP-certified facility.

What Is Ube?

Ube (Dioscorea alata) is a purple yam widely used in Filipino desserts. It looks like a purple sweet potato but has a softer, vanilla-like sweetness. In this latte, ube powder and purple sweet potato powder give the drink its color, and coconut cream adds a rich, nutty finish.

What's Inside Each Stick

Ube and Purple Sweet Potato

Coconut Cream

Coconut cream powder made with 82% coconut milk (Malaysia) for a creamy, tropical note.

Creamy Milk Base

Ube vs Taro vs Purple Sweet Potato: What's the Difference?

All three turn drinks purple, but they are different plants. Ube (Dioscorea alata) is a purple yam with a mellow, vanilla-like sweetness. Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a starchy corm with a pale lilac color and a nutty taste, common in bubble tea. Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a sweet potato with deep purple flesh. This latte uses ube powder and purple sweet potato powder, plus taro flavoring.
