Authentic by Design
Ube and Black Sesame aren't trends to us. They're the flavors we grew up with — the ones that feel like home, and the ones our customers have been waiting to see in a modern latte format.
Our company
We're building the latte you deserved all along.
Sips Latte Co. was built on a simple belief: everyday drinks should do more for you. Authentic Asian flavors. Real functional ingredients. A price that makes it part of your routine, not a rare treat.
Our mission
Make gut-healthy, adaptogenic lattes accessible to everyone — starting with the flavors that inspire us.
Most functional beverages treat health as a compromise — they taste like supplements. We built Sips to prove that clean energy, prebiotic gut health, and genuine Asian pantry flavor can coexist in a single $3 cup you actually want every morning.
No caffeine dependency. No mystery ingredients. No $8 café price tag. Just a better cup — built for how you actually live.
Our values
What we stand for.
Function Over Filler
Every ingredient earns its place. Panax ginseng for adaptogenic energy. Chicory root inulin for gut health. No artificial flavors, no unnecessary additives — nothing in the pouch that doesn't serve you.
Accessible to Everyone
No dairy in the mix means no exclusion. Whether you're vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just oat-milk-forward, Sips works for you without modification.
Built in Community
We started at the University of Washington and we're growing outward from there. Community feedback shapes every decision — from flavor development to how we set up our booth.
Why trust this team
We didn't start with money. We started with curiosity.
We formulated the product ourselves, ran our own pop-up booths, and built our own customer base from scratch. Every decision on this site was argued about, tested at a booth, and validated by real people paying real dollars for our product.
That's not a class project. That's a company.
