Aval Dor Cornish Coffee Liqueur is a collaboration between Workshop Coffee and Colwith Distillery, bringing together two carefully crafted ingredients: exceptional Ethiopian coffee and award-winning Cornish vodka.
We began with a vibrant washed coffee from Raro Boda in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, selected for its distinctive profile of mango, toffee and blueberry. We tested 10–12 different coffees alongside a range of extraction methods before settling on a precisely controlled hot brew. The process allows the coffee’s natural brightness and complexity to come through clearly, while minimising oxidation.
The coffee is blended with Colwith Distillery’s Original Aval Dor Vodka, chosen for its purity, smoothness and creamy mouthfeel. The result is a rich, balanced liqueur with a silky texture and a distinctly coffee-led character.
On the nose, berry, spice and dried florals. On the palate, sweet jammy fruit, biscuit and blackcurrant, followed by deep caramel, clove and an elegant floral lift.
The coffee comes from around 257 smallholder farmers delivering cherries to Raro Boda, a washing station in the Uraga region of Guji. Working with our long-term Ethiopian partners Snap Coffee, the station focuses on careful processing, meticulous sorting and slow drying to preserve the clarity and character of the coffee.
Blended and hand bottled at Colwith Distillery, this is a considered meeting of exceptional coffee and Cornish craft, made with care and precision from origin to bottle.
