Move over Matcha, UBE is a new flavour taking over the global beverage scene. <\/span>Koicha<\/b><\/a>, located in <\/span>Koregaon Park<\/b><\/a> is 1st place to serve <\/span>UBE<\/b> drinks in Pune! If you love discovering unique caf\u00e9 menu items, this vibrant purple ingredient should sit right at the top of your must-try list.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Exactly Is UBE and What Does It Taste Like?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Originating in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, UBE (pronounced <\/span>oo-beh<\/span><\/i>) is a vibrant purple yam. It is a staple root vegetable in traditional Filipino desserts like <\/span>ube halaya<\/span><\/i> (sweet jam) and <\/span>halo-halo<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flavor-wise, UBE brings a mild, naturally sweet, and earthy taste with distinct notes of vanilla, pistachio, and nuttiness. Because it pairs seamlessly with dairy, fruit, and coconut, it adds a rich, velvety depth and a striking violet color to both drinks and baked treats without feeling overly heavy. It is healthy as it is packed with dense carbs, fibre and antioxidants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Refreshing UBE Cloud and Tropical Mango Mixes<\/b><\/h5>\n

UBE Cloud<\/b> easily stands out as my favorite. The base features pure coconut water mixed with tender bits of fresh coconut flesh, finished with a smooth UBE layer on top. The combination creates a cooling, rounded mouthfeel that makes it an ideal pick-me-up for warm days.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you enjoy fruity profiles, the <\/span>Mango UBE<\/b> delivers a balanced blend of tropical flavors. It combines sweetness of mango and nuttyness of UBE not being too sweet, keeping the drink light, tasty, and refreshing.<\/span><\/p>\n
