The Falcon House supplies specialty coffee to cafés, hotels, offices and home brewers in Jeddah: premium 100% Arabica from India's Western Ghats, including Monsooned Malabar AA, espresso blends for lattes and cappuccinos, a bright filter roast and cold-brew dip bags, as whole beans or ground. Retail prices are listed in AED (currently from AED 19), and wholesale coffee for Jeddah is quoted per order via [email protected]. Online orders are delivered to your door in Jeddah and across the GCC.

What we supply in Jeddah

  1. Espresso for milk drinks: Monsooned Malabar AA has near-zero acidity, a heavy, syrupy body and a dense crema, so it stays chocolatey rather than sour under steamed milk in a latte, flat white or cappuccino.
  2. House espresso: Sunrise Blend (80% Arabica, 20% washed Robusta, medium-dark) is dialled in at 18.5 g in, 38 g out in 27–30 seconds at 93 °C, with a thick, lasting crema.
  3. Filter and pour-over: Aromica Blend is 100% Arabica from Chikmagalur and Bababudangiri, grown at 1,350–1,600 m and roasted medium (City+), with jasmine, stone fruit and Meyer lemon notes.
  4. Darker cups: Vienna Roast brings dark chocolate, toasted almond and caramel for a strong Americano or a sweet iced latte.
  5. Cold brew without equipment: cold-brew dip bags (10–12 g) steep in 12–16 hours for a low-acid, naturally sweet glass; hot-brew dip bags (10 g) cover rooms and offices without a machine.
  6. Whole bean or ground: every roast is sold as whole beans, or ground for espresso, moka pot, filter, French press or cold brew, so a café grinding fresh and an office without a grinder in Jeddah can buy the same coffee.
  7. Why it fits Jeddah: the city is the gateway for pilgrims travelling to Makkah, so its hotels run at high occupancy through Ramadan and the Hajj and Umrah seasons, and its waterfront and Al-Balad cafés trade late into the evening. Low-acid coffee such as Monsooned Malabar suits the iced drinks that sell year-round on the Red Sea coast.

Getting it to Jeddah

Wholesale orders for Jeddah are quoted per order. Send your outlets, machines, menu and expected monthly volume, and we confirm roasts, pack formats, lead time and landed cost. Retail prices are listed in AED (currently from AED 19); the dirham and the riyal are both pegged to the US dollar, so AED 1 is about SAR 1.02.

Food in the Kingdom, including coffee, is regulated by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), and prepackaged food needs Arabic labelling. Ask any supplier, including us, to confirm each product's registration and label language before it goes on sale. Saudi VAT is 15%.

Jeddah Islamic Port on the Red Sea is the Kingdom's main port of entry for sea freight, so shipments to Jeddah avoid the inland leg that Riyadh orders need; ask your customs broker for the duty rate on roasted coffee. Agree stock and par levels before Ramadan and the Hajj season, when hotel demand peaks.

Who we work with

Hotels serving Umrah and Hajj guests, specialty cafés on the Corniche and in Al-Balad, restaurants, corporate offices and home brewers in Jeddah. For a hotel, we suggest trialling one roast in a single outlet and checking guest feedback before rolling it out.

Questions from Jeddah buyers

What are the best coffee beans in Jeddah for lattes and cappuccinos?

A low-acid, heavy-bodied coffee. Our Monsooned Malabar AA and Sunrise Blend both keep a chocolate and caramel profile through steamed milk instead of turning sour, and both produce a dense crema. For black filter coffee, Aromica Blend's floral, citrus profile is the better choice.

Where can I buy specialty coffee beans online in Saudi Arabia?

At thefalconhouse.com, delivered to your door in Saudi Arabia. Prices are listed in AED, currently from AED 19 (about SAR 1.02 per dirham). Each product page lists the origin, roast level and tasting notes.

Do you deliver coffee beans in Jeddah?

Yes. Online orders are delivered to your door in Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, with prices in AED. Café, hotel and office volumes are quoted per order, including delivery and lead time.

Do you sell wholesale coffee in Jeddah?

Yes. We supply cafés, restaurants, hotels and offices. Email [email protected] with your outlets in Jeddah, your machines and your expected monthly volume, and we will quote wholesale pricing, lead times and landed cost.

Do you sell whole coffee beans or ground coffee?

Both. Every roast is available as whole beans, or ground for your brewer: espresso, moka pot, pour-over and filter, French press or cold brew. Choose whole beans if you grind fresh at the bar.

Can I use your coffee for Arabic coffee (gahwa)?

Not as a like-for-like substitute. Gahwa is traditionally made from very lightly roasted beans brewed with cardamom and sometimes saffron, while our roasts are medium to medium-dark for espresso, filter and cold brew. Many hosts serve both: gahwa for tradition, specialty coffee for espresso drinks.

Can you supply hotels that host Umrah and Hajj guests?

Volume orders for hotels in Jeddah are quoted per order. Send your property, outlets and expected monthly usage, and plan orders well ahead of Ramadan and the Hajj season, when demand and freight are at their peak.

Is your coffee registered with the SFDA?

Ask us for the SFDA registration and Arabic-label status of the specific products you plan to sell. Requirements differ between retail packs on a shelf and coffee brewed inside your own café or hotel.
