NVTia Maria is a world-renowned Jamaican coffee liqueur celebrated for its balance of aromatic coffee, smooth rum, and exotic vanilla sweetness. Born from a 17th-century Caribbean recipe, it embodies the warmth, energy, and rhythm of Jamaica — offering richness and sophistication in every sip.
Smooth yet complex, Tia Maria’s blend of Arabica coffee, Jamaican rum, and Madagascar vanilla creates a liqueur that’s both indulgent and versatile. From the classic Espresso Martini to an after-dinner serve over ice, Tia Maria delivers the perfect harmony of coffee intensity and Caribbean spirit.
Tia Maria’s origins trace back to Jamaica in the 1600s, where legend tells of a Spanish aristocrat fleeing the island with her family’s secret liqueur recipe, naming it after a loyal servant — Tia Maria, meaning “Aunt Mary.”
The liqueur was commercialised in the mid-20th century and quickly became a global favourite. Now owned by the Illva Saronno Group (makers of Disaronno), Tia Maria continues to honour its Jamaican roots while embracing modern craftsmanship and sustainably sourced coffee.
