The word Armenian Coffee is called “haygagan soorj” and the way it is made is similar across most Balkan and Mediterranean countries. However, one thing that sets them all apart is the way they are ordered. In Armenia they call it haygagan soorj. In Greece, you order an elliniko. If you were in Lebanon you would say gahwey arabi.
Regardless of what you call it, we take great pride in making sure the taste is universal. Enjoy.
All Armenian coffee orders come in 1lb bags and are ground extra fine.

The Bella Finca and the Armenian decaf are wonderful. Was introduced to Henry’s soorj at our annual gathering of Hyes here in the California gold country. A celebration of food, culture and friendship topped off with perfect cups of heavenly Armenian coffee (decaf–we do need to eventually get to sleep)! Had a great time munching paklava and kurabia and reading grounds.

I ordered the Armenian Coffee in “half/half” … I love the mix of light and dark, tastes rich and creamy, absolutely delightful! It was packed nicely, loved the sesame candies too, nice touch! And loved the coffee pot. I also ordered a mix sample of coffee beans, cant wait to try them!
My 92 year old Mother and I have a ritual of having an afternoon “soorj” and listening to her great Armenian stories, same as her and her Mother once did. These are the moments I will cherish for years to come…over a simple cup of “soorj”… priceless!

The coffee is delicious-full bodied and flavorful. I did not make it Armenian style, but rather in my Chemex. It is so awesome that I now want to get the Armenian style pot and try it that way.

I watched Henry’s video four times before making my first cup. The first cup, I made a few mistakes on — too much coffee, not enough water. The second cup, I refined my technique and it was pure heaven. I’ll be drinking this often.

My wife found Henry’s House of Coffee while searching the internet to find me some properly ground Turkish coffee for use in a cezve. She contacted them and the Armenian was suggested for me. She made the purchase and presented me with the surprise. I have made a couple of cups of this and enjoyed it very much. It has a nice full body with a wonderful flavor. It is sure to be the drink of choice after coming in from the winter cold that is coming upon us in the Midwest. We are both pleased to have found such a nice place to do business with. We will definitely purchase fro Henry’s HoC again.

Armenian coffee is supposed to be bought ground since you can not get the extra fine grind that’s needed with a regular grinder. The preparation is also quite different than regular coffee brewing methods.

Love the taste of this coffee. Lovely robust taste with no bitterness. I ordered the half and half and the Armenian pot and am working on my technique. As my title says, This is my first time trying Armenian coffee. My first attempts were delicious, but seemed like too many undissolved grinds in the coffee. I have quickly realized you really can’t get the best result with an electric stove. I googled a bit and found a video that recommended getting a small camp stove (good to have one for power outages anyway). It also recommended starting with very cold water. While watching I realized I was stirring too much too. The grounds that aren’t dissolved should fall to the bottom. As good as the coffee has been with my first attempts, I’m sure it will be much better once I can prepare it properly. I think it’s a wonderful tradition (definitely a tasty one). In addition to the benefit of the final product, it kind of forces you to slow down a bit and enjoy the process.

We have been drinking coffee made in a dzezve for years and are always searching for the perfect brew. We will search no longer! Henry’s Armenian coffee (dark roast) is perfection. As soon as I opened the bag I knew it would be a home run. The gift of sesame candies was a wonderful touch. An added bonus is the fast shipping from California to Flyover Country.

Okay, so my entire life I have purchased my Armenian coffee from various Armenian groceries in the LA area where I live. I always thought “coffee’s coffee.” Until I stumbled upon HoC Armenian Dark. Not all Armenian coffee is created equal. Live and learn. Henry’s Armenian Dark and Half and Half are both smooth and rich. The coffee is ground extra fine, and the roast is very flavorful, (not acidic at all). The Armenian Dark is my favorite and has become my afternoon ritual.
I also bought the little two-cup jezveh pot. I was surprised by the nice quality, and it’s the perfect size to make my coffee with a beautiful foam. Needless to say, I’m super happy with my purchase. I’ll definitely reorder.

Great traveler! While my husband drank instant Starbucks in our camper on our recent Iceland adventure, I enjoyed Henry’s Armenian coffee. Just poured hot water on a heaping tbs in a mug, stirred, let sit a while to “settle” and enjoyed almost as much as traditional video guided special pot prep (alas, no crema but I add my own cream with mug prep so still awesome!)

I ordered this coffee in the light roast as a recommendation to substitute the recently discontinued “greek” coffee and I can say that while it is a fine coffee, it is in no way like the Greek except that it is lighter roast and is coffee. It doesn’t compare from the aroma to the acid profile and overall flavor. I’ve tried many and while all the Armenian line are very fine coffees, I’m sad to have seen the greek go.
