Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur

Vanilla-sweet coffee beans meet a hint of Jamaican rum in a bottle made to melt together with ice and cream. Tia Maria is the liqueur that helped turn the coffee cocktail into a worldwide classic.

  • Copper-coloured coffee liqueur in a round bottle
    Item no.: 222555486-9963

    Legend tells of a young Spanish aristocrat who fled unrest in Jamaica with a small jewellery box clutched to her chest - and inside lay the recipe for a mysterious liqueur that later took the name Tia Maria.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur is an Italian coffee liqueur at 20% ABV, produced by Illva Saronno from roasted coffee beans and Jamaican rum.

    The recipe was rediscovered in the 1950s by Dr Kenneth Leigh Evans, who began producing and marketing the liqueur under the name Tia Maria. After several changes of ownership, most recently a sale by Pernod Ricard in 2009, Tia Maria is today produced by Illva Saronno in Saronno, Italy, but still follows the original Caribbean recipe, where fresh roasted coffee beans are complemented by a touch of rum.

    Smag

    The nose is rich and inviting with clear caramel and roasted coffee. The palate is exotic and full with natural vanilla sweetness and an intense coffee character, finishing with a warm, lightly rum-spiced aftertaste.

About Tia Maria

Tia Maria is a coffee liqueur with natural vanilla flavour, made from freshly roasted coffee beans complemented by a touch of Jamaican rum. For newcomers it's a natural shortcut into the modern coffee-cocktail culture, not least in classics like the Espresso Martini; for connoisseurs it's notable that Tia Maria still holds firm to the same coffee-rum-vanilla formula that has, since the mid-20th century, made the brand a fixed reference point in the liqueur category.

History & Background

Tia Maria's recipe dates back to 1600s Jamaica, where coffee and rum were often combined as a local specialty long before the liqueur became a commercial success. The brand as we know it today was developed and launched in the mid-20th century, taking its name from a jewel a legend says a fleeing noblewoman left behind on Jamaica during colonial times. Since then, Tia Maria has established itself as one of the world's best-selling coffee liqueurs, particularly known for its role in the Espresso Martini.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made from a rum base infused with coffee extract and vanilla, giving it a deep, coffee-filled character.

Signature Style

Coffee, Sweet, Full-Bodied
The flavor offers a full-bodied coffee sweetness with notes of vanilla and rum.
