The Origins of Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur

If you’ve ever wondered how coffee and spirits combine into something smoother than espresso but stronger than a cappuccino, you’re not alone. The world of coffee-flavored alcohol is small but steeped in tradition—and few drinks carry as much legacy as Tia Maria. This isn’t just any coffee cocktail ingredient. It’s a storied spirit with roots going back centuries, tied to the finest coffee and cocoa in the world.
