what is ube syrup?
PURPLE YAM NATIVE TO THE PHILIPPINES
Rooted in over 400 years of Filipino culinary tradition, ube has long been a favorite. We took this iconic superfood and gave it a modern twist, ready to brighten your lattes, matchas and everything in between.
TASTES LIKE:
A blend of sweet, nutty, pistachio and vanilla flavors. It gives matcha a not-too-sweet flavor bomb and in coffee, it brings out a nutty flavor that compliments any roast.
RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
Nature's natural purple superfood loaded with benefits. In the Philippines, not only is ube delicious, but we eat it to feel our best.
A BLAST OF PURPLE
Known for its rich vibrant color that pairs perfectly with espresso or matcha. Watch your lattes turn purple and make instagram worthy drinks! It won't be long until your followers ask you where you got your ube syrup from. 👀
VERSATILE
Use for your lattes, cocktails, mocktails, baked goods, and other culinary creations. We make our ube syrups with lattes in mind, but don't let us limit you. It could really be used for so many things.
NEW DROP: BUKO PANDAN
Made with real pandan leaves and coconuts. This syrup captures the sweet, creamy, nutty, and midly earthy tones of buko pandan, a popular Filipino dessert.
banana cue syrup
Banana cue syrup is a nostalgic, caramelized homage to the iconic Filipino street food—saba bananas coated in brown sugar and deep-fried until sticky and candied. Think of it as a liquid version of that deep, molasses-heavy caramelized crust.
It brings a significantly darker, richer sweetness than a standard artificial banana syrup, with warm notes of toasted brown sugar and a subtle, creamy fruitiness.
- In Matcha Lattes: Because saba bananas have a starchier, more muted sweetness than Cavendish bananas, the syrup doesn't overpower the tea. The deep molasses notes play incredibly well with the vegetal, earthy undertones of matcha, turning a standard drink into something that feels like a comfort-forward dessert.
- In Coffee Lattes: This acts as a bridge between a traditional caramel syrup and a fruit-forward sweetener. The banana undertones provide a rounded, "bready" mouthfeel that pairs naturally with the acidity of espresso, essentially tasting like a toasted banana pastry in a cup.

SYRUPS INSPIRED BY FILIPINO HERITAGE.
Hi I’m Jordan and I’m the founder of Purple Potions. I started this journey because of my love for coffee, matcha, and the Filipino culture. During a cafe visit, I noticed the lack of global flavors so I set out to the kitchen to 'remix' my mom's ube halaya as a latte flavor.
Beyond representation, I started this journey to keep ube Filipino. Today, many companies profit from ube while ignoring its history, its culture, and the real struggles Filipino farmers face to produce it.
We are on a mission to change that. We're taking steps to establish direct farm-to-trade relationships with farmers with the goal to help Filipino farmers earn livable wages.
Join us to make this goal a reality while bringing the best flavors to your coffee and matcha.
