You’ve oat-milked. You’ve cold-brewed. You might have even given mushroom coffee a try. But have you tried tahini coffee yet?
Tahini coffee is the latest trend to hit TikTok and barista blogs - and as tahini makers, we’re here for it.
Tahini coffee creamy, rich, a little nutty (in the best way), and packed with healthy fats that’ll keep your energy up without the crash.
Whether you’re here out of curiosity or already halfway to the blender, here’s everything you need to know about coffee + tahini - including how to make tahini coffee the SoCo way.
So… what is tahini coffee?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: tahini blended into coffee.
But don’t be fooled by the simplicity. When you combine nutty, velvety tahini with hot coffee (and a touch of sweetness), you get something special. It’s earthy, satisfying, and a great option if you’re skipping dairy or just want to try this popular, trending drink.
Why are people putting tahini in coffee?
Tahini is just the ultimate multitasker.
- Healthy fats that keep you fuller, longer
- Naturally dairy-free and vegan
- Each cup of tahini coffee adds 6–7 grams of plant-based protein, along with a boost of essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and antioxidants.
- Subtly sweet, nutty flavour that plays very nicely with coffee
Plus, it makes your cup taste indulgent without being overly sweet. (If you’ve ever added almond butter to your smoothie, it’s a similar sort of thing.)
