TIA MARIA COFFEE LIQUEUR

A sweet liqueur with a strong coffee character, Tia Maria’s complex aromatic structure lends to a velvety sweet offering that is versatile enough to be sipped straight or mixed in a classic cocktail. Distinctive and full-bodied, its masterful rich taste is complemented by the fragrance released from its 100% arabica.

At first sip, its exclusive cold brew extraction provides a coffee aroma reminiscent of a morning brew.

Hints of caramelised cane sugar and chocolate follow to sweeten the blend, finishing with notes of vanilla to soften. Richly roasted with hints of chocolate and pipe tobacco, Tia Maria’s full-bodied taste is defined by its complex aromatic structure, lasting on the palate with its hints of caramelised cane sugar - perfect when served in an espresso martini.
