Golden Coconut Ube Latte
Two colours, two worlds meeting: a golden, glowing coconut below, a deep purple ube above.
The Golden Coconut Ube Latte is our tropical signature, between softness and sparkle.
Where golden meets purple
This signature brings together two preparations: coconut milk warmed with a hint of turmeric, golden and fragrant, and a soft, purple ube base.
The colour contrast is striking, the flavour pairing harmonious: coconut rounds out the ube, turmeric adds a warm, glowing note. An exclusive tropical latte, as photogenic as it is comforting.
The golden-purple two-tone is an Ube Time exclusive: the turmeric, subtle, lifts the coconut without ever overpowering the ube.

Turmeric is measured by the pinch.
A hint is enough for the golden colour and warm note: too much and it turns earthy and bitter. Pour the ube gently over the coconut to keep the two tones. The coconut, richer, holds well at the bottom of the glass.
A grating of lime zest on top lifts the whole thing with a tropical freshness.
