TASTE OF COLOMBIA FAIR TRADE COFFEE & GIFT SHOP

Taste of Colombia “After Dark”

#Carajillo #RedWine #Beer #InfusedWithCoffee

Hola everyone! We have some exciting news to share! Introducing Taste of Colombia ‘After Dark’. Starting this week we’ll be offering a selection of coffee infused alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy in the evenings. We’ve sourced out wines, beers, and spirits that blend beautiful coffee with your favourite ‘After Dark’ drinks. And of course we’ll be making traditional Spanish Coffees as well- starting with our version of ‘Carajillo’, originally a Spanish drink but also very popular in Colombia and other South American countries.

We’ll be rolling out these new products in the coming weeks and invite you to, as always, come in for a taste and let us know if there are other drinks you’d like to see us offering. Looking forward to seeing you at the cafe…after dark!
