Tempus Fugit Creme de Moka is part of our Coffee & Tea Liqueurs collection. It comes from Tempus Fugit Liqueur and is crafted in France.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Moka is a meticulously crafted liqueur that revives a 19th-century recipe, offering a rich, authentic chocolate and coffee flavor profile that's leagues beyond typical mocha liqueurs. Interestingly, it's made with single-origin cacao from Venezuela and Ethiopian coffee beans, the same region where coffee was first discovered in the 9th century by a goatherd named Kaldi, who noticed his goats becoming energetic after eating berries from a certain tree.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Moka stands out as a meticulously crafted chocolate liqueur that captures the essence of fine cacao and coffee. Unlike many mass-produced alternatives, it's made using natural ingredients including Venezuelan cacao, Arabica coffee, and vanilla from Madagascar, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile that elevates classic cocktails like the Brandy Alexander or inspires new creations.
Tempus Fugit Creme de Moka shines in rich, dessert-style cocktails or as an after-dinner sipper, either neat or over a large ice cube. Its indulgent chocolate and coffee notes make it perfect for cozy autumn evenings or winter gatherings, pairing beautifully with tiramisu, dark chocolate truffles, or even a slice of pecan pie.
Nose: Rich cocoa powder and freshly roasted coffee beans dominate. Hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon add complexity. A subtle undercurrent of dark cherry and almond emerges with time.
Palate: Velvety and full-bodied. Bittersweet chocolate and espresso flavors take center stage. Notes of caramel, toasted hazelnuts, and a touch of orange peel provide depth. The sweetness is balanced, not cloying.
Finish: Long and warming. Dark chocolate lingers, accompanied by a gentle coffee bitterness. Faint notes of cardamom and clove appear. A subtle smokiness reminiscent of cocoa nibs persists, inviting another sip.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Moka is crafted using a 19th-century recipe that combines cacao, vanilla, and coffee for a rich, authentic flavor. The liqueur's production process stands out for its use of single-origin Venezuelan cacao and Arabica coffee beans, which are carefully blended and macerated in a base spirit to extract their complex flavors before being sweetened and bottled.
