Ube is having a moment, and we get it. The Philippine purple yam delivers two things at once — a stunning natural purple hue that turns any drink into something Instagram-worthy, plus a flavor that's harder to describe than expected: think creamy vanilla with a toasted, nutty finish and a subtle earthiness that keeps it from being one-note. It's tropical without tasting like fruit punch.

Stir half an ounce into a latte and watch your morning oat milk turn purple before your eyes. Whip it into cold foam for a matcha or coffee topper that looks like art. Splash it into a daiquiri or mojito for a tropical cocktail with a stunning color story. Mix with sparkling coconut water for a tropical sip that tastes like a beach vacation in a glass.

Tasting Notes: creamy vanilla, toasted nutty depth, soft floral edge, mellow earthy finish

The Short Version: A naturally vibrant purple syrup made from Philippine ube (purple yam) — creamy vanilla character with toasted, nutty depth, designed to turn lattes, cocktails, and mocktails into something more interesting.

Ingredients: Filtered water, organic cane sugar, natural flavors, ube powder.

Perfect For: Coffee shop trend-followers, matcha latte fans, Filipino food enthusiasts, brunch hosts, Instagram-driven home baristas, and anyone who likes their drinks photogenic.

Best Enjoyed In: Ube lattes (½ oz syrup + espresso + steamed milk), ube cold foam (over iced matcha or coffee), ube daiquiris, ube colada cocktails, or 1 oz syrup + 6 oz sparkling coconut water for a tropical purple soda.

The Portland Syrups Promise: Ethically sourced, carefully brewed, and bottled in glass jars right here in SE Portland, Oregon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the syrup last after opening?
A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.

Q: What is ube and what does it taste like?
A: Ube (pronounced "OO-beh") is a purple yam native to the Philippines, used widely in Filipino desserts, drinks, and pastries. The flavor is hard to compare to anything Western — most people describe it as a cross between vanilla and toasted coconut, with a subtle nuttiness and earthy edge. It's sweeter and more dessert-leaning than taro (which is often confused with ube), and it's most famous for its vivid natural purple color, which makes it photograph beautifully in lattes and cocktails. If you've had ube ice cream, ube halaya, or ube cake, you know the flavor.

Q: Is ube the same as taro?
A: No, but they're often confused. Both are root vegetables with mild, slightly sweet flavors, but they're different plants. Ube is a purple yam native to Southeast Asia with a deep purple color and a creamier, vanilla-leaning flavor. Taro is grayer or white-pink with darker purple specks, and tastes more starchy and earthier than ube. In drinks, ube is sweeter and more dessert-leaning; taro is more subtle and closer to a savory root. Our syrup uses ube specifically — for the color and the flavor.

Good product

The syrups are amazing! Love them! Shipping was terrible. I waited two weeks for them to arrive. Portland syrups did communicate with me, but they need to find a different shipper.

Delicious!!!

I was looking for the perfect Ube flavor for my matcha lattes and found it here. After trying other options and being left disappointed and unsatisfied, I was very happy to find this Ube syrup at Portland Syrups. Exactly the flavor I was looking for. I went through my first bottle within a week and 4 days so I had to order more. I will definitely be a returning customer and look forward to exploring other flavors.

Ube syrup closest to the real thing

Ube is one of my favorite flavors, and I've tried it in different places across the US, and some places get it just right while some places use artificial stuff. This one tastes very rich and like the real thing, which is hard to find weather in powder or syrup form. I had kind of given up on finding a good alternative until i found this one.

Does not taste like ube

Upon tasting, it was very unimpressive. Looked at the ingredients and no real ube was used.

Amazing flavor!

The ube syrup is delicious, using it in cream to froth and top my morning coffee with. Shipping was also incredibly fast and the packaging was lovely! I also ordered the lavender syrup as a gift for a friend and I’m excited to gift it to her. The bottles are beautiful.

Love this syrup!

There's a Filipino coffeeshop in my city, but it's a solid 30 minutes away, so I bought the ube syrups in hopes to make my own ube lattes. I just made my first one yesterday and it was SO good! I love that it's made with real sugar and not one of the many substitutes and that there are no artificial colors in it. It's got a perfect level of sweetness and the nutty vanilla flavor really comes through. I absolutely love this and will definitely be buying more!

Unbelievable Ube

I’m an ube lover and I’ve tried various ube flavored products recently. The Portland Ube Syrup is the best I’ve tried! I add it to my morning lattes now and couldn’t be happier! I’m actually preparing to buy more as soon as I finish this review! Thank you!

delicious, not too sweet! thank you!

I've been seaching the interwebs for years for an Ube syrub that tasted authentic and not too sweet. I've tried 3 others, they were either ridiculously expensive and way too sweet and/or artificial tasting. Yours is perfectly balanced and as always the price is right! Thank you so much for adding Ube to your line up, I've added it to my coffee, to desserts, ice cream, matcha lattes....I'm still experimenting! 5 stars for sure 🙂

Horrible

Fake and artificial and not authentic Filipino ube

Hi Jordan,
Thank you for your thoughts. We use real Ube Powder in our syrup and are the only brand of syrup that uses the actual tuber in their product. That said, I would love to know which brand you prefer so we can better understand what it is that we do that is not up to your standards. Please let us know so we can learn and improve.
Thank you!
