About Coffee Spirit Co – Crafting Norse Code Coffee Liqueur

About Coffee Spirit Co

Coffee Spirit Co Founders Gordon and Yan

Founded by Gordon and Yan in the heart of York, Coffee Spirit Co crafts Norse Code Coffee Liqueur with precision and passion. Gordon’s award-winning barista expertise meets Yan’s beverage distribution experience — combining coffee excellence with business acumen in beer, spirits, and specialty liqueurs.

Our Norse Inspiration

The name Hel on our labels references the Norse goddess, reflecting the bold, layered, and mystical character of our coffee liqueurs. Historically, coffee was once called the “devil’s drink” by the Pope, and we embrace that rebellious spirit alongside the Nordic wave of coffee innovation.

Cold Filter Brew Process

Our signature Cold Filter Brew process, pioneered by Gordon, ensures every batch is perfectly balanced, silky, and smooth. Controlling temperature, flow rate, and extraction time allows maximum flavour, avoiding the bitterness of traditional cold brew or iced coffee. This precise method guarantees that each Norse Code Coffee Liqueur bottle captures the full complexity of specialty beans.

Our Coffee & Roaster

We use award-winning Latin American single-origin beans, roasted locally by Danelaw Coffee in Yorkshire, under the expert guidance of roaster Dave. Dave’s meticulous approach and history of awards ensures the beans reach their full potential, complementing the precision of our Cold Filter Brew.
