Coffee is a staple across the globe as a warm beverage to start the morning or the perfect pairing with dessert. In Saudi Arabia, coffee is a symbol. A symbol of hospitality, a symbol of national pride, and a symbol of time-honored traditions. Grown mainly in the southwest of the country, coffee beans are carefully tended, harvested, and roasted according to methods particular to each region, which provides a variety of flavors and aromas.

Hospitality is an important tradition in the Kingdom and is always accompanied with a cup of coffee.
Saudi Coffee: The Culture of Hospitality examines the region’s coffee, from seedling to refreshment.
