Kopi Kurma (Dates Coffee): What It Is & Where to Buy
Kopi kurma — also called kopi tamar or dates coffee — swaps refined sugar for dates. It is a popular pick for anyone cutting back on sugar without giving up their morning coffee. Here is what it is and where to get it.
What is kopi kurma / kopi tamar?
Kopi kurma (kurma and tamar both mean dates) is coffee sweetened with dates instead of refined sugar. You get the coffee you like, with the sweetness coming from a natural source — which is why it is often sold as a low-sugar coffee.
Why people choose it
It is popular with anyone watching their sugar intake who still wants a proper cup. Dates add sweetness plus a mild caramel note, so many find they do not miss the spoonfuls of sugar.
What does it taste like?
Smooth coffee with a gentle, natural sweetness and a hint of caramel from the dates — rounder and less sharp than black coffee, without the sugar hit.
How to make it
- Add a spoon of the premix to a cup.
- Pour in hot water and stir well.
- For iced, use a little less water, stir, then pour over ice.
Is it halal?
Yes — Kilang Minuman Kopi Kurma Premium Dates Coffee is halal and labelled low sugar.
