Coffee and chilli peppers may seem odd, but they taste so good in Koffiracha Hot Sauce, a unique culinary creation from Alex Gkikas and Theo Bliss, a pair of London food innovators.
Alex co-owns Catalyst Cafe and Coffee Roasters, renowned for its expertly sourced beans and inventive brunch, lunch and bar snack dishes. Theo is an experienced tech entrepreneur and self-proclaimed foodie who believes that food is a foundation for living life to the fullest. It was love at first bite for Theo when he tried Alex's experimental coffee-chilli sauce. "The taste just electrified my senses," Theo recalled, "the sauce's vivid flavour woke me up."
After a year of tweaking recipes, Alex and Theo settled on a formula that marries fruity speciality coffee's nuanced notes with a fiery chilli kick. The result is Koffiracha, a versatile condiment that brings big, borderline-anarchic flavour in a surprisingly balanced way. A few dashes can imbue everything from eggs to steak with spicy, tangy, umami-rich intrigue.
For Alex and Theo, it's been a labour of love creating a product that channels their shared passions for great coffee, bold flavour, and culinary magic. "We wanted to bottle something that shakes up your tastebuds but keeps you craving more," said Alex. Koffiracha is fast gaining a cult following among London's avid food community. The sauce is poised to captivate more adventurous palates worldwide with its distinctly offbeat yet delightful taste profile—It's so good it doesn't make sense.
