Purple Sunrise Latte
A gradient that runs from deep purple to bright orange, like a sunrise in the glass: the Purple Sunrise Latte is one of our signature creations.
As beautiful to look at as it is to drink, it pairs the sweetness of ube with the freshness of mango.
Our sunrise in a glass
The Purple Sunrise Latte was born in our kitchen, from the urge to tell a dawn as a drink.
At the bottom, the mango brings its orange light and its acidity; above, the ube lays down its soft, vanilla purple. Between the two, a natural gradient forms before your eyes. An exclusive signature, designed to amaze as much as to delight.
This creation is exclusive to Ube Time: you won't find it anywhere else. The gradient forms thanks to the different densities of the mango and the milk.

Discover the recipe →The chef's touch
The gradient is a matter of patience and density.
Always pour slowly, over the back of a spoon, so the layers don't mix. A cold, slightly thick mango purée holds better at the bottom. Serve immediately: the gradient is fleeting, and that's what makes its magic.
Photograph it before stirring: the Purple Sunrise is made to be admired, then savoured.
