A new colour is taking over café menus this summer. Scroll through social media, and chances are you’ll spot shades of vibrant purple appearing in everything from desserts to iced drinks. The ingredient behind the trend is ube, a naturally sweet purple yam that has become one of the most talked about flavours in global food culture.
Now, the Ube Series UAE has officially arrived at Coffee Planet.
The homegrown UAE coffee brand is embracing the growing demand for visually striking, flavour driven drinks with a limited edition collection available throughout June and July. Designed for coffee lovers, matcha enthusiasts and curious trend followers alike, the new menu introduces three distinct takes on the flavour that has captured attention around the world.
Consumers today are increasingly seeking café experiences that combine flavour with discovery. Limited edition menus, seasonal ingredients and shareable drinks have become an important part of UAE café culture, especially during the summer months when iced beverages dominate orders across the country.
Part of ube’s appeal lies in its versatility. Its naturally sweet, nutty profile pairs well with a variety of flavours while adding a distinctive purple colour that instantly stands out. Coffee Planet’s collection explores that versatility through three different drinks.
The Ube Matcha combines earthy matcha notes with smooth ube sweetness, creating a layered beverage that balances freshness with indulgence. For coffee drinkers, the Ube Latte pairs bold espresso with creamy ube, offering a flavour profile that feels both familiar and unexpected.
For guests looking to escape the summer heat, the Ube Frappé delivers a chilled option that leans further into the dessert inspired side of the trend, offering a creamy texture and signature purple finish that feels made for warm afternoons.
Across the UAE, cafés are increasingly becoming destinations for discovery rather than simple coffee stops. Customers are drawn to seasonal menus, unique ingredients and drinks that feel exclusive to a specific moment.
Available across Coffee Planet locations including Dubai Hills Mall, JVC Circle Mall, Foundry Downtown and Fountain Views, the collection gives customers a chance to experience one of the year’s biggest flavour trends without leaving the UAE. It is also available through major food delivery platforms for those preferring to enjoy it at home.
Available for a limited time only, the Ube Series adds a colourful new chapter to Coffee Planet’s menu. Whether you’re already an ube fan or simply curious about the flavour everyone seems to be talking about, this is one summer trend worth sipping before it disappears!
