Only organic Arabica coffee beans grown high up in Mexico's volcanic Huatusco mountains are used. These are harvested through a cooperative of nearly 2,000 small producers in Huatusco. The sugar used is Fair Trade cane sugar, grown in Kasinthula, Malawi by a cooperative of 300 independent farmers.

Launched 1st March 2011, as the name suggests this liqueur is produced using Fair-Trade certified ingredients and is the world's first Fair-Trade certified coffee liqueur, although we note the small print that says: "Min. 25% fair trade ingredients by dry weight pre distillation".

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/04/2011

Appearance:

Clear, brown amber with golden highlights.

Aroma:

Pungent roasted coffee nose with chocolate, fudge and nutty aromas.

Taste:

Nutty flavours of hazelnut are immediately apparent on a chocolate coffee palate. This light liqueur is much more mocha coffee than espresso coffee.

Aftertaste:

Roasted coffee finish is bitter compared to the palate and fades with nougat chocolate.
