Description
When the morning chill met my father’s favorite mug, it was filled with something earthy and sweet—this tahini coffee. With velvety sesame, deep espresso, and a swirl of date syrup, it’s a comforting fusion of Middle Eastern tradition and modern café charm. One sip, and you’re wrapped in warmth and heritage. Brew a cup—it’s more than coffee, it’s a connection.
