I've just had some Arabic coffee

[zeitghost]

This stuff wasn't sugared at all.

That's (apparently) what the dates & biscuity thing are for.

Apparently there's no phrase in Arabic for coffee with no sugar, only coffee with extra sugar.

I bought some strong Arabic beans once and did a normal sized brew in my coffee filter thingy.

Once.

After the second mugful I was as high as a kite.

There's a reason this stuff is normally served in small cups, and with a glass of water.

Went to to the pub in the hope that several beers would act as an antidote, but they didn't really.

Couldn't really sleep that night either.

Curiously, the beans aren't roasted.

[gingerjedi]

in the Gareth Hunt sense.

[zeitghost]

Super sweet?

Coffee, no, but spiced with cardomon & stuff.

Dates, yes.

Super sweet?

And some dates and a little biscuity thing.

As brought in by some esteemed customers.

Should my ears be ringing.
