Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
1718 Arabic Coffee is designed around a traditional dallah-led serving style rather than an espresso- or filter-led single-origin format. The product is described as a light roast in the “Cinnamon Roast” colour range; this is a roast term, not a declaration that cinnamon is added. Cardamom is the stated aromatic addition. 1718 combines Arabica sourced from Yemen and Ethiopia with this roast-and-cardamom profile for a lighter-bodied cup intended primarily for dallah preparation and hospitality service.
Recommended Brewing
-
Traditional dallah: This is the primary preparation style and should remain the first recommendation.
-
Hospitality service: Serve in small finjan cups as part of the traditional Arabic coffee ritual.
-
French press: A practical modern option when a dallah is not available, although it changes the traditional preparation.
-
Pour over: Another convenience route for a lighter cup, secondary to the traditional method.
1718 Brewing Tip: For the preparation style this product is designed around, use the traditional dallah method as the reference. French press or pour-over can be used as modern alternatives when preferred.
Traceability & Sourcing
The current product information identifies the coffee at country level as Arabica sourced from Yemen and Ethiopia and states that it is roasted in Dubai to a light cinnamon profile with cardamom. No specific farm, lot or producer is named in the verified public data used for this wave, so the page should not imply farm-level traceability.

What roast is Arabic Coffee?
The current product page identifies a light “Cinnamon Roast” colour term. This describes roast colour/style and should not be read as an added cinnamon ingredient.
