Gahwa


This photo is of a traditional Arab coffee pot. If you look closely you can see the saffron spice in the pouring spout, which is the gahwa's last ingredient before it reaches your cup.

One of the differences between gahwa and American coffee is the gahwa coffee beans are green and then slightly roasted before grinding, whereas the American coffee is already roasted. Another difference is gawha has cardemon added for flavor.
