Drinks & Cocktail Shisha Flavours

Picking a drinks-style flavour

These blends borrow their taste from something you would normally drink. They fall into a few loose groups, and what you order in a café or bar is usually a good guide to where to start.

Coffee

Coffee blends range from bold and roasted to sweet and creamy. Fumari Mochaccino, for example, is a roasted coffee with creamy cocoa on the exhale, while Starbuzz Vintage Plus - Timisue leans towards a sweeter, dessert-like coffee mix.

Tea and chai

Chai blends are built on warm spice. Starbuzz Vintage Plus - Delhi T brings sharp cinnamon, cardamom and star anise, and Tangiers Noir Chai (152) adds clove and light black tea. For something lighter, a tea blend like Tangiers Noir Sunset pairs floral Jamaica tea with blueberry and cucumber.

Fruit punch and cocktails

Cocktail flavours tend to be fruity and tangy, often with citrus. Starbuzz Code 69 is a cool fruit punch with tart citrus, Starbuzz Sex On The Beach mixes lemon and orange, and Tangiers Noir Cherry Limeade is slightly sweet on the inhale and cool on the exhale.

Mixing and trying

Citrus cocktail blends take well to a little mint, and coffee pairs naturally with sweet flavours. If you are new to a style, a smaller pack is a low-risk way to try it. Each maker has its own range to explore, such as Tangiers, Fumari and Starbuzz Vintage.
