Maatouk Lebanese Coffee with Cardamon Gourmet Blend, 16 Ounce

Excellent coffee, good taste

My gf and I had this coffee in a restaurant in Atlanta. We ordered a Turkish coffee for the first time that was made with this coffee. It was so delicious that when we could not duplicate that flavor, I called and spoke to the restaurant owner and she gave me the name of this coffee so I could make it at home. The cardamom is what makes this coffee outstanding! I don’t think I can drink anything else from now on!

Delicious. Will buy again. Heavy on the flavor.

I am really pissed. The reason is that I grew up in Lebanon and I drank the coffee there. I know the blend to be a mix of high quality arabica beers in the following proportions.30% blond bean (the color of slightly roasted coffee beans(70% dark bean (the color of the same beans which has been heavily roasted to the point the color of the bean gets close to black)The blond type gives you a very light coffee taste. My late father used to call it dirty water not coffee. This is used in TurkeyThe dark bean gives you a very heavy coffee taste. This is used in Syria.The mixture gives you a much more pleasant taste which is not present in the product advertised as Lebanese coffee.This type of blends makes for the Lebanese coffee blend.What is here offered is 100% blond which is basically Turkish and not Lebanese coffee. Falsely advertised.As for the Cardamon, there is no cardamon flavor in your mixture. There is not even a cardamon smell when you open the case the first time. What is there if any is really not enough.I am surprised at all the good reviews you got. Pretty sure they never tasted the Lebanese blend.

good item

You have to understand, this coffee is the preferred blend for Aheway in Lebanon.So that means it is prepared in a small to medium sized pot (rockway) of boiling water.Look into actual instructions.It should come out strong and bitter served in a tiny cup like espresso. Aquired taste for any westerner but once acquired it is amazing.Be aware of the cardamom additive as it’s a pleasant but unexpected twist on how we are used to drinking coffee here in the states.

Turkish style coffee is impossible to find locally, but with Amazon, it's a seamless experience. Order it today, it's on your door step the next.As far as the coffee, I would consider it a high quality product. Will continue to purchase.
