My older sister went to Princesses Sarah bin Fasal British School. In parents meetings, and student programs which i also attended, with little vocal skills I remember the school always served Qahwa Coffee. They also had a unique style, as they included appetizers and candies for little kids and Qahwa Coffee was served in Long Silver Jug. For family members and little siblings the school use to give us gifts as it showed that the school care and loves not only their students but also their family. The School was like a Big Happy Family!! Through Qahwa Coffee, they presented their tradition, culture in a unique and rich style. This taste is marvellous as it is little bit bitter, but if you want the bitter to go away you are welcome to add honey. Honey compliments Qahwa Coffee, as sugar substitute’s honey. The ingredient is kept natural. Hence sugar is not used and lemon is optional as per ones taste, preference and flavor.
