Ujjo is a vinegar-free hot sauce for coffee and it uses a balance of natural ingredients to add sweetness and heat. Now being introduced to the world on Kickstarter, Ujjo has already got the support of more than a hundred backers and it has surpassed its initial crowdfunding goals.
Unlike traditional hot sauces, this one has no vinegar and no garlic, but it has the potential to enhance everything from coffee and tea to espresso with a sweet and fiery kick. There's a version for light roast coffee and dark roast coffee and they use warming spices like cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla and ginger to bring up the heat without overpowering the taste of the coffee itself.
