One powder, one standard

At Ube Time, we made a simple choice: offer the best ube powder possible, and nothing else. 100% Kinampay ube, the most renowned variety in the Philippines, dried and ground, with no added sugar, no flavouring or colouring. The vanilla-nutty taste and the deep purple come from the yam alone.

💜 Did you know?

Bohol's Kinampay is nicknamed the "king of yams" in the Philippines, for its exceptional aroma and colour. This is the variety we chose.

Origin makes the powder

Not all ube powders are alike, because not all yams are equal. We chose Bohol Kinampay, the variety Filipinos nickname the king of yams, for its vanilla aroma and deep purple. Harvested, dried then finely ground, it becomes a powder that keeps all its character, with nothing added.

🌿 Why it matters

The variety and the care taken in drying decide the result in your cup: colour, aroma and fineness come first from the raw material.

What makes the difference

The variety: Kinampay is renowned for its aromatic finesse and colour. The purity: nothing but ube, you control the sugar and the milk. The versatility: a single pouch for your lattes, cakes, creams and ice creams. The colour: a natural purple, no colouring, that makes its mark in the cup as in the plate.

💜 The Ube Time tip

Two teaspoons in oat milk, and you have an ube latte worthy of a coffee shop. The same powder will then serve you for a cake.

One powder, all your uses

A single pouch follows you from morning to dessert. As a drink, two teaspoons in hot or cold milk for a coffee-shop ube latte. In pastry, it colours and flavours cakes, cookies, creams, cheesecakes and homemade ice creams. Rehydrated in a little hot liquid, it blends without lumps and spreads a clear purple.

💜 The Ube Time tip

Start with the ube latte to get the hang of it, then try your hand at pastry with the same powder. A single pouch opens dozens of recipes.
