Two drinks, two plants
Coffee comes from a roasted seed, that of the coffee shrub. UBÉRA comes from a dried and ground tuber: purple yam, Dioscorea alata, grown in the Philippines. Two botanically unrelated plants, and two drinks that share neither colour nor taste.
The preparation is where they meet: a powder, a hot liquid, a whisk. Five grams of UBÉRA dissolve into the milk of your choice and give a creamy texture, closer to a hot chocolate than to an espresso. It works iced just as well.
Inside the bag: purple yam and nothing else — no caffeine, no colouring, no added sugar. The powder is packed in Switzerland and keeps away from light and humidity.
For every moment of your day.

Frequently asked questions
Is UBÉRA really caffeine-free?
Yes. UBÉRA is purple yam (Dioscorea alata) ground into powder: a tuber, not a caffeine plant like the coffee or tea shrub. Nothing here is decaffeinated — the caffeine was never there.
Where does the purple colour come from?
From the tuber itself. Purple yam is purple on the inside, and drying preserves that colour. No colouring and no added sugar: the bag holds nothing but purple yam.
What does it taste like, and does it need sweetening?
A light vanilla sweetness that opens onto notes of roasted hazelnut, almond and pistachio — none of the bitterness of coffee. Most people drink it as it is; a spoonful of maple syrup is enough for those who prefer it sweeter.
How many cups are in a bag?
One serving is 5 g. That makes about twenty cups from the 100 g bag, forty from the 200 g and around two hundred from the 1 kg format. The larger the format, the lower the price per cup — current prices are in the shop.
