Tia Maria - Matcha Cream Liqueur, Creamy and Earthy Taste of Japanese Matcha with a Pleasant Bitter Undertone, Bottle of 70 cl, 17% ABV

Product Information

The result is a smooth and sweet liqueur that pairs perfectly with a variety of spirits and mixers. To make the rim, mix two teaspoons of sugar and one teaspoon of matcha powder in a dish. Chill your glass for 10 minutes in the freezer, or until you have moisture on the glass. Dip the glass rim into the mix of matcha powder and sugar.

Neil Jardine, managing director of Disaronno International UK, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing a brand new liqueur to the UK drinks category and providing a delicious new take on Japanese Matcha tea. Matcha is extremely popular in coffee shops and is known around the world for its mindfulness properties, so it seemed a natural fit for us to pair the earthy notes and natural caffeine with our premium Tia Maria flavour.I really can’t quite pin down what I think it tastes like, but one moment it tasted like sweets, the next mildly like parma violets. Having looked up more about the drink, the flavours of matcha green tea are herbal and floral which is probably why I was getting those hints of flavour. There is definitely a note of vanilla too, which all lends itself to a tasty creamy drink that goes down very smoothly. Place all your liquid ingredients and the banana in a blender and top with a scoop full of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a hurricane glass and sprinkle with chocolate. Closing Thoughts We know our customers love the classic Tia Maria taste, so we wanted to bring them something truly unique while injecting new excitement into the brand. With the launch we want to continue to reach a younger consumer base and meet new taste preferences along the way with our new drink creations, and we’re looking forward to introducing the concept of a mindful Matcha ritual through Tia Maria. Discover the range of Tia Maria available here at House of Malt. Enjoy the original liqueur made with coffee beans, Jamaican rum, vanilla, and sugar, or why not try out intriguing new flavours such as Tia Maria green matcha?

Tia Maria is made from premium Jamaican coffee beans and a blend of Jamaican rum, vanilla, and sugar. The drink is 17% volume so not strong, and therefore nice to sip slowly without being overpowering. I will definitely be finishing off this bottle and purchasing some more; I’m excited to have expanded my drinking repertoire a little, even though I genuinely thought I was going to hate it initially! I still don’t like the strange green colour, and discovered that it left my tongue green tinted too but I can overlook that for the taste. I’ll be recommending people try it before writing it off due to the name as to be honest, saying it is flavoured with matcha doesn’t suggest it is going to be very tasty. This is however a drink to get to know, and if you like cream liqueurs you won’t be disappointed. It would be a particularly good Mother’s Day gift for any lover of cream liqueur based drinks.

Bringing a coffee shop taste to home bars across the UK, Tia Maria Matcha is a uniquely fresh and naturally indulgent cream liqueur with the distinctive flavours of Japanese green Matcha tea extract, providing a floral and refreshing twist with a smooth finish. How to make: SHAKE both ingredients with ice. Strain into chilled glass with matcha rim already in place. Tia Maria is relatively light in alcohol (20% ABV), pairs beautifully with anything creamy, and makes a fabulous dessert substitute or after-dinner drink. It also pairs beautifully with vodka, increasing potency without detracting from its sweet roasted coffee bean flavor. Our latest innovation is testament to the essence of the brand and we can’t wait for our customers to raise a glass of our new Tia Maria Matcha with us.”
