What is Tia Maria?

Tia Maria is a wonderful coffee liqueur that was first made in Jamaica from fine Jamaican coffee beans. Tia Maria has a alcohol content of 31%, some exports are 20%. The flavor, as you would expect is of dark coffee similar to Kahlua, but a bit darker. The main flavor of coffee is complemented by cane spirit or rum, vanilla and sugar.

History of Tia Maria?

Tia Maria was created by Dr. Evans shortly after WWII in Jamaica. Dr. Evans went threw a rigorous testing, using friends  and members of the Kingston Country Club until he came up with the perfect formula.

Tia Maria became under new ownership when it was bought by the famous brand of Pernod Ricard back in 2005 to be swold in France. Which makes it under the same ownership there as Malibu and Kahlua. In 2009 Illva Saronno bought the brand.
