Coffee with Rum – a black tea inspired by the North Frisian Pharisäer

Coffee with Rum tea combines tradition and modernity in a truly original way. This blend was inspired by Pharisäer – a famous drink from North Frisia, made with coffee, rum, and whipped cream. Legend has it that the drink was created in the 19th century as a way to "hide" alcohol from the watchful eye of the clergy – coffee covered with a thick layer of whipped cream masked the characteristic aroma of rum. Over time, Pharisäer became a symbol of social gatherings and a classic dessert of northern Germany. This history demonstrates how a beverage can become part of culture and social rituals. Today, its echoes can be found in Coffee with Rum, which recreates this unique atmosphere in a new, non-alcoholic version.

In this tea interpretation, instead of a caloric beverage with alcohol and sugar, we get an elegant composition of black tea with the addition of coffee beans, red safflower petals, and a hint of rum. This gives the infusion a distinctive character, yet remains light and accessible to everyone – it can be enjoyed both during the day and in the evening. The aroma of the dried tea itself is intriguing: the dark tones of black tea and roasted coffee are offset by a sweet, rum-like accent, giving the blend a unique depth.

Taste and aroma

Coffee with Rum tea reveals a full palette of flavors and aromas: a distinctive black tea base brings a light tartness and full flavor that perfectly complements the delicate bitterness of coffee. A rum accent adds an exotic note and a dessert-like character, making the infusion reminiscent of classic Pharisäer—although in a non-alcoholic, lighter, and more versatile version.

The infusion's color is dark and deep, and its aroma develops gradually: first, black tea, then coffee, and finally a delicate, rum-like sweetness that lingers on the palate as a pleasant, velvety finish. It's a multi-layered composition – each sip brings something new, which is why it works so well as both an everyday drink and a complement to dessert.
