The History of Pasión

Pasión Tea and Coffee Company Ltd was formed in 2001 and is the exclusive creation of Bahamian born and raised Julie Hoffer. Her passion for sublime teas led her to do extensive research internationally resulting in the creation of an exotic line of teas, spices, coffees, hot sauces and authentic Bahamian bush tea remedies unparalleled in the Caribbean.

As an assistant to the national Tea Board of Sri Lanka Julie’s keen palate and regard for quality has helped her to hone in on the finest ingredients all tried and tested by her own true self. These are incorporated into a passionate line of teas that infuse fabulous blends from the best of the Mlesna Tea group, with the flavours of tropical fruits and Bahamas based rums.

Being loyal to her roots and her sense of cultural tradition, Julie’s dedication to building the core of her business in her country of origin – The Bahamas, is undeniable. Her aim to develop high quality products that showcase the beautiful flavors and remedies of the Bahamas islands is now a reality. We’re talking about remedies that have been handed down through generations, natural bush medicines and secret recipes that offer relief to symptoms such as colds and flu, cancers and diabetes, hypertension and insomnia. Available now, in sealed pouches ready to steep, brew and serve.

Pasión’s support of cultural traditions doesn’t stop at bush remedies, but is continued in the original and unique line of Hot Pepper Tonics and Spices produced from locally grown ingredients and used daily in the cook pots of Bahama mama’s throughout the archipelago.

Pasión’s latest product line is an interesting and lively collection of coffee’s blended with tropical tastes to deliver a quality cup of coffee that rivals the best of gourmet java anywhere.

Julie takes pride in the support of local communities globally and the treasure of natural resources. This is why all of her tea and coffee products are guaranteed to be Fair Trade Certified and often come with an ‘organic’ seal of approval too. Whilst looking after the concerns of international communities Pasión is also committed to preserving the natural heritage of its own country and for this reason Julie seeks to support older generations in the Bahamas outer islands by providing them with a market for their small holding produce. With a strong belief in everything Bahamian, Julie seeks recognition for these icons of the uncontrived, unpretentious, unworldly way of life and treasures the qualities and wisdom that they have to offer.

Not one to sit on the heels of fortune, Julie has expanded the business to become the exclusive distributor for Bio 3 health line Teabags and Jablum Blue Mountain thereby offering a wider variety of popular hot drinks to her growing base of loyal customers.

Julie is also a proud member of STI (Specialty Tea Institute) SCAA (Specialty coffee association of America), CHBA (Caribbean Herbal Business Association), CHA (Caribbean Hotel Association), BHA (Bahamas Hotel Association) and The Bahamas Chamber of Commerce.

All of these fabulous products are available in stores throughout the Bahamas in the brand new Pasión boutique retail store located on Blake Road, Nassau, Bahamas and of course, now, via their website.
