What's the best spot for enjoying a cup of Arabic coffee in Doha?
What are the ingredients in Arabic coffee Qatar?
The best quality green coffee beans are purchased from wholesale shops, many of which can be found in Souq Waqif, along with the other traditional ingredients : saffron, cardamom, cloves and dried shaiba leaves (black stone flower). Saffron, being the most expensive ingredient, is chosen carefully or sourced from Iran. The retailer can roast and grind the beans if requested but many people choose to do it themselves. Additional ingredients can be added, with ratios varying from family to family. Even the colour of the coffee differs, with some preferring lighter tones and others, darker ones.
