Arabic Coffee is a symbol of hospitality across the Gulf. The Emirati and Saudi styles differ slightly in roast and flavor but share a deep cultural importance. Prepared from 100% Arabica beans, it is brewed in a traditional dallah pot and served in small finjan cups as part of a ceremonial experience.

Key Features

• Emirati Style: Medium roast with smooth body, nutty & caramel flavors.
• Saudi Style: Light roast, tea-like clarity, spiced with cardamom, saffron, or cloves.
• Tradition: Served in small cups, always paired with dates or sweets.
• Cultural Heritage: A ritual of hospitality, respect, and togetherness.

Brewing Guidance

To brew traditional Arabic coffee:

• Grind coffee extra fine, almost like Turkish grind.
• Boil 600ml water in a dallah or pot.
• Add 25–30g ground coffee, simmer gently for 10–12 minutes.
• Infuse with crushed cardamom (and optional saffron or cloves).
• Strain before pouring into finjan cups.

Suggested Serving

• Pair with fresh dates, dried figs, or baklava.
• Serve in small 30ml portions, refilling cups for guests as a sign of hospitality.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for those who want to experience the heritage of the Gulf in their cup. Whether Emirati or Saudi style, Arabic coffee is not just about flavor but about culture, gathering, and respect.
