Mary Rose – Purple Matcha Ube – a purple alternative to classic matcha tea 💜
Purple Matcha Ube by Mary Rose is a unique powder made from 100% purple yam – ube (Dioscorea alata). Although powdered ube is often referred to as “purple matcha”, it is not tea – it is a natural plant-based ingredient that captivates with its rich colour and versatile uses.
The flavour of ube is mild and naturally sweet, with subtle notes of vanilla, nuts and baked sweet potato. 🍠 It works perfectly as a base for a vibrant ube latte, as well as a colourful addition to smoothies, porridge and desserts.
What is ube and where does the term “purple matcha” come from? 🍵✨
Ube, also known as purple yam, is a purple root originally from the Philippines, often confused with taro – although they are completely different plants. Purple yam stands out for its deep, intense colour and sweeter, dessert-like flavour profile.
Once dried and ground, ube becomes a fine powder. The term purple matcha refers to its form and method of preparation – similarly to matcha tea, ube is mixed into liquid and whisked to create a smooth, colourful drink. Unlike classic matcha, Purple Matcha contains no caffeine, making it suitable to enjoy at any time of day.
It is also worth noting that purple yam is a natural source of fibre and plant compounds that form a valuable element of a balanced diet – 100% natural, enjoyable in taste and visually striking. 💜

How to prepare a drink with Mary Rose Purple Matcha ☕
Purple Matcha Ube is prepared in a similar way to classic matcha tea, but it requires thorough mixing. Purple yam (ube) contains natural starch, which may cause the powder to settle.
- Add approx. 2 g of powder (a slightly heaped half teaspoon) to a bowl.
- Pour over 100 ml of hot water (90-95°C).
- Mix thoroughly using a chasen whisk or a milk frother until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Add more water or pour in plant-based milk – oat, coconut or almond – to create a purple latte.
Note: After a short while, a delicate sediment may appear at the bottom of the drink – this is a natural characteristic of ube.
A drink prepared with purple matcha delights with its intense colour. After adding warm milk and whisking again, a light, fluffy purple foam forms – perfect as the top layer of an eye-catching two-tone latte combined with classic green matcha. 💫
Ube is characterised by a naturally mild, subtly sweet flavour. If you prefer a more intense drink, you may increase the amount to 3-4 g of powder (approx. 1-2 teaspoons), adjusting it to suit your taste.
Please note that ube naturally contains starch and fibre, therefore when preparing thicker drinks it is advisable to use in moderation and gradually adjust the proportions so that the drink remains both flavourful and comfortable for the body.
