Organic purple yam powder 100 g, Kusmi Tea

Product detailed description

If matcha appeals to you more for its aesthetics than its taste, vanilla ube might be a more interesting direction. It has a naturally deep purple colour, is caffeine-free, and instead of a grassier profile, it offers a softer, sweeter and creamier character. The result is a drink that looks impressive even without a photo filter, yet is perfectly suitable for the evening.

Main advantages:

• Kusmi Tea Ube is a fine powder made from purple yam with a naturally intense purple colour and a sweetish taste with notes of vanilla and hazelnuts.
• Ube is an edible starchy tuber of the genus Dioscorea, widespread mainly in the Philippines, China and other regions of East Asia.
• After dehydration and grinding, a fine powder is produced that retains its characteristic purple colour and is easily used in drinks and cooking.
• A gently sweet flavour profile with vanilla and slightly nutty notes gives ube its original character without the addition of other flavouring ingredients.
• A naturally vibrant purple colour transforms an ordinary latte, smoothie, porridge or dessert into an eye-catching part of breakfast, snack or home entertaining.
• The powder contains neither caffeine nor theine, so you can prepare a drink from it in the morning, afternoon or evening according to your current taste.
• Ube is a natural source of fibre and also stands out for its protein content, so in addition to its vibrant colour, it offers interesting nutritional properties.
• The easiest use is in a hot ube latte, which highlights the gently sweet taste with notes of vanilla and hazelnuts.
• During warmer days, you can prepare an iced ube latte and, after mixing the powder, top up the drink with cold milk, a plant-based alternative or ice.
• Ube powder is also suitable for smoothies and breakfast porridges, to which it adds a characteristic flavour and a striking purple visual effect.
• In home baking, you can use it in cakes, biscuits, creams and other sweet recipes, where its colour and delicate flavour will stand out.
• To prepare the drink, pour two teaspoons of powder into a bowl, add water at approximately 80 °C and stir until dissolved.
• Then top up the mixed ube according to your taste with water, milk or a plant-based alternative and serve hot or chilled.
• Ube represents an unconventional alternative to matcha latte, chai latte or cocoa for anyone who likes to try new flavours and colourful drinks.
• The practical resealable pouch contains 100 g of powder and allows you to repeatedly take the required amount for drinks, baking or desserts.
• The striking label design inspired by Japanese tattooing works with the motif of a colourful snake, which symbolises protection and health, and the characteristic shades of ube.
