The UCCL Passion Blend is Ultimate Coffee's medium-roast, 100% Arabica, fruity blend. With distinct tangerine tasting notes, Passion Blend preserves the flavor of the original coffee fruit while presenting a mildly nutty aftertaste. It is a pleasantly balanced blend with a fruit-focused character. In this brewing guide, we will show you how to bring out the Passion Blend's best characteristics in different coffee beverages. Brewing at a standard 25-30 ml, single-shot dose, we find the Passion Blend best suited to a balanced extraction profile. As a medium roast, the Passion Blend benefits from longer extraction times, which helps extract more essential oils/flavor while reducing the characteristic sharp/bright acidic taste from medium roast coffee. Moreover, the longer contact time reduces dilution and produces a more potent/syrupy body, lending to a balanced profile that preserves the original fruity character while reducing the sharp acidity of under-extracted coffee.
