Your One-Stop Shop for Arabic Teas, Coffees & Middle Eastern Products in Marbella
There’s something about that first sip of Arabic coffee or a warm, fragrant cup of herbal tea that instantly makes you feel at home. For many of our customers from the Middle East, these drinks are a part of the daily rhythm, a way to connect with culture, and a comforting reminder of family and friends.
At Leo Foods in Marbella, we know how important these little rituals are, especially when you’re far from home. That’s why we’ve built one of the best selections of authentic Arabian teas and coffees on the Costa del Sol. Whether you’re visiting for the summer or living here full time, we’ve got everything you need to keep enjoying the flavours you know and love.
What Makes Arabian Coffee Unique?
Arabic coffee (also called qahwa or gahwa) is a deeply rooted tradition across the Gulf and Levant regions. It’s typically brewed from lightly roasted Arabica beans and infused with spices like cardamom, sometimes cloves, saffron, or even rose water, depending on regional preferences.
How It’s Served
Arabian coffee is usually served in small cups, mostly without sugar and alongside dates or sweets. It’s as much about the moment as it is the drink; offering coffee is a cultural gesture of hospitality and generosity.
Popular Arabic Coffee Brands at Leo Foods:
- Al Najjar with Cardamom – A trusted favourite with a rich aroma
- Sofra Damascene Blend with Extra Cardamom – Bold and flavourful
- Haseeb Coffee with Cardamom – Full-bodied with a strong cardamom profile
We also stock plain blends for those who prefer to add their own spice at home.
How Arabian Tea Differs
While coffee may be associated with formality, Arabian tea tends to be more relaxed and enjoyed throughout the day, at home or gatherings. You’ll find both black tea blends (strong and served sweet) and herbal infusions featuring ingredients like chamomile, hibiscus, rose petals, and mint at Leo Foods.
Popular Types of Arabian Tea:
- Cardamom tea – Spiced and warming
- Rose petal or hibiscus tea – Floral, refreshing, and naturally caffeine-free
- Black tea blends – Strong and flavourful, perfect with sugar or milk
Favourite Tea Brands at Leo Foods:
- Ahmad Tea (Cardamom, Special Blend, Imperial and more) – Trusted worldwide for flavour and quality
- Lipton Yellow Label – A staple in Middle Eastern households
- Sofra Herbal Teas – Natural infusions like hibiscus, damask rose, and chamomile
Tea or Coffee: Which Is Right for You?
There’s no need to choose! Arabic coffee is often served to guests or enjoyed in the morning, while tea is the go-to for relaxed evenings or casual get-togethers. Both are available in our dedicated Middle Eastern drinks section in-store and online.
