Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur

Tia Maria is a renowned coffee liqueur with roots tracing back to Jamaica in the 17th century, though it was formally commercialized in the mid-20th century. While historically associated with Jamaican rum and coffee beans, the production of Tia Maria has since moved to Europe. Today, it is primarily manufactured in Italy under the stewardship of the Illva Saronno group.

The brand has undergone several ownership changes, having previously been part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio before being acquired by Illva Saronno in 2009. The liqueur is famous for its cold brew extraction method and usage of Madagascar vanilla, making it a staple in cocktails like the Espresso Martini. Its global distribution is managed through various regional subsidiaries and partners under the Italian parent company's direction.
