Advantages: That Caribbean atmosphere. Disadvantages: Stinking hangovers!
...There's a lovely story attached to the origins of Tia Maria, all about Jamaica during the Colonial Wars, fleeing noblewomen, black pearl earrings and a secret family recipe. You can read it on their website (http://www.tiamaria.co.uk) if, like me, you like to know the folklore and stories behind the things that you buy. The website will also tell you how this famous liqueur is made and the process sounds equally romantic: coffee beans grown in the foothills of the Jamaican Blue Mountain range are gathered, cracked, and mixed with vanilla and sugar and alcohol then bottled and sold to those of us who love to savour a little bit of the taste and the atmosphere of a lazy Caribbean holiday whenever we can. Otherwise, I'm afraid, the website is a little dull with some rather unadventurous cocktail suggestions and a design in similar rich...

Review of Tia Maria
Advantages: It's gorgeous, it'a alcoholic, it's a sweet, luxurious liqueur.. Disadvantages: Too expensive!
...This has got to be my favourite drink in the world. And to use an American expression that I think rather fitting....Period. It's fantastic, I could rave on about it using all sorts of adjectives. but that's not going to get me a high rating, nor particularly inform you guys. :P
As described on the rather lovely packaging, this drink is 'uniquely dark and intriguing' and I've got to agree. Tia Maria is a dark rum and while it looks like it could be quite dry, it's got a deliciously sweet coffee/vanilla taste to it that is so moreish. Pour it into a glass and you'll see a thick, dark coloured, wonderful-smelling liquid come out. Put the glass to your lips and inhale the vanilla/coffee smell. Sip it slowly and taste the luxurious pleasure that is Tia Maria. I can't describe the taste, I wouldn't do it justice.
It's26.5% volume...

Review of Tia Maria
Advantages: Tastes gorgeous, an alternative to Baileys, quality Disadvantages: Possibly the price depending where you shop
...**Seeing as I've just won a case of 12 bottles of this stuff I thought it was a good time to breathe a bit of fresh air into an old op!** :o)
I was lucky enough to be invited to a Glamour evening arranged by Tia Lusso a couple of weeks ago and was served this all night - by the time it was time to go home I was hooked! I was also given 2 bottles to bring home to try. WOW!
oOoOo A NICE BOTTLE? oOoOo
The bottles a great design - a dark blue glass bottle shaped like a Tia Maria bottle (as Tia Maria are the company behind Tia Lusso in case you hadn't guessed!) with a dark blue and gold label. And theres a hidden use..... scrub the labels off (which isn't easy cos I think they've superglued them on!) and get some long church candles and you've got 2 trendy candle holders. I sprayed mine gold where the label was and honest...

Review of Tia Lusso - Liqueur
Advantages: GORGEOUS BLEND OF COFFEE AND RUM, LOWER IN FAT Disadvantages: STILL LADEN WITH CALORIES, A BIT PRICEY (BUT MINE WAS FREE - NER NER)
...Last weekend we had a few friends over to celebrate our son's first birthday. Although Craig received loads of presents from everyone, we weren't left out. We couldn't move for boxes of chocolates, flowers and booze lying everywhere. We should throw a party more often :)
One of our gifts that we managed to keep hidden (just) was a bottle of Tia Lusso that my mum had smuggled in. Knowing that my favourite tipple is Bailey's Irish Cream, she thought she would introduce me to this liquer drink after she had sampled it for herself a couple of weeks before.
Tia Lusso may sound quite familiar to some of you. Well, you're right as it's made by the same company that make the famous liquer, Tia Maria. I have tried this a couple of times and wasn't disappointed so I was more than happy to sample the taste of this relatively new drink...

Review of Tia Lusso - Liqueur
Advantages: like Baileys but thinner Disadvantages: bit sickly
...I remmember when this was first intorduced. I was working behind a bar at the time so I got all the sale jargon. I won't fob all of that off on to you though!
What's It Like?
This drink is basically the same as Baileys, only instead of having an Irish whiskey base, it's got a Tia Maria base.
What It Looks Like
It's appearance is exactly the same as Baileys, ie a light beigey colour.
Gloopy?
I find this to be a smoother and thinner drink than Baileys, which makes it easier to drink, because you don't have the coating left in your mouth that you can get with other drinks.
Who's It For?
Well traditionally a drink like this one is seen as one for the ladies, but I know numerous men who can't get enoug of the stuff! Really it's for anyone who likes cream liquers and particularly Baileys.
Ingredients
Jamaican coffee
Rum...
Advantages: great on its own or as a mixer. Disadvantages: can be sickly
...What is Tia Maria
Tia Maria is a liqueur spirit with the distinct taste of coffee. It is produced by Pernod Ricard and is made in Jamaica using Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee beans. The main ingredients are coffee beans, cane spirit, vanilla and sugar.
Pouring the drink.
I have my tumbler at the ready with a couple of ice cubes placed inside in order to chill my drink slightly as that how I generally like my spirits. When poured the liquid is dark brown in colour but not of a thick consistency or guppy but it does cling slightly to the sides of the glass, just enough so you can see a faint coating whilst looking at the glass.
Taste
Devine blend of alcohol and coffee with a lovely sweetness, move over Nescafe wish could have this in my coffee mug instead. Have swirled it around in my mouth to get the benefit of the full...

Review of Tia Maria
Advantages: rich smooth texture and colour, tastes good with mixers or on its own, no hangover Disadvantages: alcoholic so watch how much you drink.
...The taste of Tia Maria should never be forgotten, like marmite you either love it or hate it. I most definitely fall into the former category!
This gloriously opulent drink has a romantic and dark beginning as the colour of the drink itself.
Its history can be traced back some 300 years, to the Caribbean Island of Jamaica. In the midst of the colonial wars in the 17th century a Spanish noblewoman, (beautiful of course) was forced to leave her home. Amidst the chaos and confusion of the flight the maid had just time to grab the noblewoman’s most treasured possessions, contained within a treasure box. Inside were a pair of black pearl earrings and a family recipe for some cordial. Such was the noblewoman’s gratitude that these things had been rescued she named the cordial after her maid ‘Tia Maria’

Review of Tia Maria
Advantages: Delicious, warming, versatile Disadvantages: Perhaps too sweet for some, and of course if you don’t like coffee...
...I have an unhealthy addiction to coffee. It can probably be traced back to my younger days - if I was out clubbing till 2am, talking with friends for a further few hours and then arriving home on my own doorstep around the same time as the milkman I had no chance of lasting a day at work unless I consumed copious amounts of caffeine.
So, what's that got to do with Tia Maria? Er, nowt really, apart from Tia Maria being a coffee based liqueur that I mightn't have tried did I not have a liking for coffee in the first place
Tia Maria has a long history, even longer than my coffee addiction. It's been around many years, to be more precise, around 300 years. Well not the drink itself, but the recipe from which it's made anyway.
During war in 17th century Jamaica, a Spanish noblewoman and her maid fled their home with hastily gathered...

Review of Tia Maria
...I don't always sit around drinking beer, you know. Not at all. I am a far more complex and well rounded individual than that. I also like to drink wine, cider, vodka, paint, aftersha.....scrub that, I've told you too much.
What I do like to drink though is TIA MARIA, a rich and sensual, coffee-based liqueur. There's nothing better than relaxing after a nice meal with a coffee and a healthy portion of 'tiddly'.
