Introducing Grounded: A Coffee Liqueur Rooted in Northumberland
Something extraordinary is brewing, and this time, it’s not just coffee. We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Grounded, an exquisitely crafted coffee liqueur that brings together the best of Northumberland’s bounty of craftmanship. Combining our signature Northumberland Coffee with Hepple Douglas Fir Vodka and the expertise of Hummingbird Drinks, Grounded is a celebration of craft, flavour, and the wild beauty of our home region.
The Perfect Collaboration
At Northumberland Coffee, we welcome collaboration and connection, and Grounded is a testament to the magic that happens when like-minded creators come together.
This luxurious liqueur is the result of a partnership with Hummingbird Drinks, where cocktail maestro Chris Green has worked his magic. Drawing on years of experience and an extraordinary palate, Chris has crafted a drink that seamlessly balances the vibrance of our coffee with the herbal, piney elegance of Hepple Wheat Vodka. The result? A liqueur that’s indulgent yet refined, earthy yet bright—perfect for sipping, mixing, or simply savouring.
A Taste of Northumberland
Every ingredient in Grounded tells a story of place.
• Northumberland Coffee: Roasted in-house on our brand-new Probat P12, the coffee provides a deep, complex base for the liqueur. Expect notes of Hazelnut, chocolate, and a grapefruit that dance on the palate.
• Hepple wheat Vodka: Sourced from the heart of Hepple Distillery, nestled on the eastern edge of the Northumberland National Park, this vodka captures the essence of the wild.
• Hummingbird’s Expertise: With Chris Green at the helm, every step of the crafting process has been meticulously refined to ensure Grounded is as smooth, balanced, and memorable as the landscape that inspired it.
