Vibrant purple yam from the Philippines has become a global food trend, loved for its naturally striking colour and sweet, vanilla-like flavour. With Sweetbird Ube syrup, baristas can serve drinks that are as Instagrammable as they are delicious.

Tasting Notes

Ube brings a creamy, vanilla–nut flavour with subtle earthy notes, balanced to work in both hot and cold applications. The natural purple tone makes it a hero ingredient for adventurous drinks menus. Perfect for iced lattes, bubble teas, and frappés, as well as innovative seasonal creations.

Why Ube?

The Gen Z consumer is driving demand for drinks that are both visually bold and globally inspired. Ube, a staple in Filipino desserts, has taken off on social media for its vibrant colour and unique taste. With the rise of “eatertainment”* and the growing café culture of drinks-as-experiences, Ube is the perfect addition to Sweetbird’s range. It allows cafés to stay ahead of the curve, offering customers something new, exciting, and highly shareable.
