Why iced coffee in Saudi Arabia's summer?
Summer in Saudi Arabia is characterized by high temperatures that can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, making cold drinks a preferred choice for hydration and refreshment. Cold brew coffee, in its various forms such as cold brew, iced latte, and nitro, offers a unique experience combining specialty coffee flavors with a refreshing texture. These drinks are characterized by lower acidity compared to hot coffee, making them gentler on the stomach and ideal for consumption in hot weather. Furthermore, using specialty coffee beans from local roasters adds an authentic touch that suits the Saudi palate, which prefers rich and balanced flavors.
