Black Sheep Coffee adds spooky flavour with the new Ube Matcha Latte

Black Sheep Coffee is adding a touch of magic to October with the launch of its newest limited-edition drink, the Iced Ube Matcha Latte.

Landing in stores nationwide on Tuesday, 15th October, the purple-hued creation blends earthy matcha with sweet, nutty ube for a drink that’s as hauntingly beautiful as it is refreshing.

The Iced Ube Matcha Latte mixes vibrant green matcha with the striking violet tones of ube — a purple yam popular across Asia for its distinctive colour and flavour.

Described by Black Sheep Coffee as a “spellbinding sip of the season,” this served-cold drink promises a naturally sweet and creamy taste balanced by the earthiness of matcha.

Its combination of matcha’s earthy tones and ube’s creamy sweetness makes it unlike anything else on the high street — a playful yet sophisticated twist for adventurous drinkers, perfect for the Halloween season.

For fans of bold flavour and bold colour, it’s a must-try before it disappears from the menu, as it will be available for a limited run of only three weeks, meaning once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Known for pushing the boundaries of Britain’s coffee scene, Black Sheep Coffee has made a name for itself through innovation.

From serving the UK’s first speciality-grade 100% Robusta coffee to introducing wellness-inspired drinks like the Lion’s Mane Latte, the brand continues to rewrite the rules of coffee culture.

The new Ube Matcha Latte continues that experimental streak, embracing the growing appetite for global flavours and vibrant, eye-catching drinks.

For those brave enough to try it, the countdown to October 15 has officially begun, and for Black Sheep Coffee, the flavour of the Philippines has truly been unlocked.
