FAQ - About Arabic Coffee, myth or fact:

Busting a few misconceptions about Arabic Coffee


1) Is there really any difference between Arabic Coffee and Coffee that's typically available in the UK (Europe or the West)?

Yes there is; fact.

Arabic Coffee is more often than not flavoured with Cardamom and other spices, but this is not the only differentiator.

In addition, some coffees from the Middle East are made of a combination of differently roasted beans - for example, one coffee blend may feature beans that are dark roasted combined with medium roasted or even light roasted. Conversely some blends are made with just one type of roasted beans which is then blended with a spice. Are example of this in our product range is the Riyadh Blend of Coffee - light/golden roasted with Cardamom - it's very unique and largely unknown in the UK.

But the main interchangeable variables, that are quite unique to Arabic Coffee, are flavourings/spices, roasts of beans and the ratio to which these ingredients are featured in the blend (this is typically indicated by the Country or even City in which the blend originates from).

2) I understand you can only make Arabic Coffee on a stove, the traditional way Arabic people do?

This is a myth.

The traditional way Arabic Coffee is made is by using a Dallah (which is essentially a small saucepan) but this is not the only way to make the drink. All our Coffees are suitable for use with a Cafetière, and we would say this method is equally as good as using a Dallah, when you follow our instructions.

Check out these instructions if you'd like to know how to make one of our Coffees with either a Dallah or a Cafetière.

3) Arabic Coffee is very strong - much, much, much stronger than Coffee typical to the UK?

This is a part myth and part fact.

As mentioned in our answer to Q1 there is a huge amount of variety in Arabic Coffee, meaning that some of these varieties are strong, while at the opposite end of the scale some are incredibly refined and delicate.

Looking at our own range:

At the strong end we have the Damascus Blend of Coffee. This is a dark roast Coffee made of only one bean variety with no additional flavouring. In Syria (Damascus to be exact), there is a terrific cafè culture where people live their lives very frantically, on the go. Resultantly, the blend of Coffee that's become popular (to suit the lifestyle) is a Coffee that gives an intense, caffeine loaded hit to the drinker.

At the more gentle end of the scale, we have the Riyadh Blend of Coffee. This is a very unique and refined coffee, only made from golden roasted beans combined with Cardamom (some Saudi's also added Saffron for extra luxury). It gives off a light, part zesty, part biscuit-like aroma, and, when brewed, to most Westerners its complexion more closely resembles Tea than a Coffee! Be warned it's highly drinkable!

In between the two mentioned above, two Coffee varieties that are more in the middle in terms of taste would be Ramallah (medium-light) and Amman (medium-strong).

4) Why buy Coffee from a UK producer of Arabic Coffee, surely it's better to buy this Coffee from a supplier in the Middle East?

Myth.

Coffee, whether Arabic, African, Europe etc, does not travel well. It is a highly, highly absorbent to moisture and odours that are carried in the air. And if not packaged correctly or stored in a cool, dry place can begin to lose freshness and take on other flavours.

When we developed our Arabic Coffee Blends, we conducted stringent taste tests that compared newly imported Arabic Coffee to our own freshly roasted and ground blends. There was a clear winner - ours.

The fact is that the shorter the time between the coffee being roasted, ground and blended to the moment it's drank the better the taste. With this in mind, our aim is to supply our customers within 48 hours of them placing their order.

In addition, regardless of whether you order 250g or 250kg, we package all orders in increments of 250g bags - so, for example, an order of 750g will be divided into three separate 250g bags. This is to ensure lasting freshness for our customers who may wish to consume their order over a period of time. And, just to be clear, all packaging we use is sealed airtight to ensure lasting freshness.

And the Arabian Coffees look is complete!

For those of you watching our development closely, you'll notice that we've now finalised the design of the packaging for our new products or, considering the age of the coffee blend recipes we feature, should that be ancient products! If you've not had a chance to catch a glimpse of these yet, get over to our web page that displays the range of Arabic Coffee that we sell.

This is an exciting time for both Arabian Coffees and the people of the UK who love genuine Arabic Coffee. Until now, authentic Arabic Coffee hasn't been widely available in the UK and, that which is, is nearly always imported from the Middle East - meaning it loses it freshness and, because ground coffee is very absorbent to odours, doesn't taste quite right after shipping.

Made from the freshly sourced Arabica coffee beans, that are expertly gas fire roasted to traditional Middle Eastern levels, our coffees are authentically Arabic. We're proud to present four blends of ground coffee for sale (Riyadh,Ramallah, Damascus and Amman) which, to our knowledge, are only unavailable elsewhere in UK.

From £5.00 to £21.50, buy online and receive direct to your door today.

Do you enjoy fresh Arabic Coffee but can't find an authentic supplier in the UK?

Do you enjoy fresh Arabic Coffee but can’t find an authentic supplier in the UK?

Many of us in the Arab community have probably thought this at some point or another, and have been irritated by the lack of decent options available in the UK. Well now there is a credible Arabic Coffee supplier in the UK: Arabian Coffees.

Arabian Coffees produces only authentic Arabic Coffee and it is located in the UK.

We are a family run business that employs experienced roasters who are familiar with how beans for Arabic Coffee should be roasted. And our ground and blended coffees follow the exact and traditional recipes of the Middle East.

Arabian Coffees currently offers four blends (Riyadh, Ramallah, Damascus and Amman) that are very distinct and provide an opportunity for the drinker to appreciate an authentic Arabian Coffee – we plan to release more varieties in time.

Please visit our website and tell your friends about Arabian Coffees; we want to see Arabic Coffee, Food and Culture flourish in the UK.

What is Arabica?

Wednesday 28th March 2012, 4:09pm

With some unscrupulous coffee producers and sellers making out that Arabica coffee is Arabic coffee, there's often confusion regarding the term "Arabica".

Arabica is a word frequently used, and often abused, in the coffee industry. But what is it?

Well Arabica is in actual fact a variety of bush, from which Arabica coffee beans grow. Of all varieties of coffee bean (e.g. Robusta or Hybrid), Arabica coffee beans are the most consumed type in coffee the drink - which explains why this term, "Arabica", appears to be most frequently associated with coffee.

With some unscrupulous coffee producers and sellers making out that Arabica coffee is Arabic coffee, there's often confusion regarding the term "Arabica". Arabic coffee (our ground coffee) is different; it is not a variety of coffee bean but instead traditional blended coffee recipes that originate from the Middle East - making them a great accompaniment with Arabic food.

Check out the range of Arabic coffee we produce. Our ground coffee contains the very best Arabica beans!

We want to know what's your preference with Arabic coffee; do you prefer flavoured or straight, unflavoured ground coffee?

We want to know what's your preference with Arabic coffee; do you prefer flavoured or straight, unflavoured ground coffee?

If you didn't know already some varieties of Arabica coffee are flavoured with spices (such as cardamom or saffron) that compliment the coffee making it especially tasty with sweet Arabic foodlike dates.

However, other varieties of Arabic coffee are without additional flavourings and simply comprise of differing types of roast ground coffee beans (ranging from raw to deep dark roast).

If you're unsure of which variety you'd prefer then our advice would of course be to try some.

For example, if flavour is your thing then take our luxurious Riyadh Blend. It's made to a traditional recipe using a variety of roasted beans and heavily flavoured with cardamom - it's really unique tasting coffee.

Or, alternatively, if a good solid hit of coffee only flavour is your preference, you must try ourDamascus Blend. It's so rich and tasty, made from differing quantities of expertly roasted beans - a true coffee lovers delight!
