Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced 2022 as “The Year of Saudi Coffee,” celebrating the authentic taste of a household staple, local media from the gulf country reported.
The Saudi Minister of Culture, Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, said that the “Saudi Coffee Initiative” will be the umbrella under which all celebrations meet as an essential component of the Kingdom’s culture.
The initiative aims to spread the use of the term “Saudi coffee” from the Kingdom first, leading to its use at the international level.
Saudi coffee has been considered one of the social rituals in the Kingdom for decades, and it differs in its taste and method of preparation from internationally known coffee.
This drink is also characterized by its own rituals, both in terms of the tools used to prepare it and the way it is served.
The “Year of Saudi Coffee” is scheduled to shed light on the Khawlani coffee, as an authentic Saudi product, as well as what its cultivation, harvesting and production say about a unique Saudi culture.
