Black Knight has managed to strike a rare balance in Saudi Arabia’s growing coffee scene: a brand that feels both accessible and refined. Established in 2018, it has become one of the most recognizable local names in specialty coffee, known for blends that are bold without being bitter, and distinct without losing their smoothness.
Among their offerings, the Adham blend stands out as one of the best I’ve tried. It’s a coffee that doesn’t rely on complexity to impress; instead, it delivers depth through precision. The flavor is rich, full-bodied, and naturally sweet, with clear notes of honey, caramel, and nuts. What I like most is that it manages to stay clean and balanced, there’s no sharp acidity or unpleasant aftertaste, just a steady, rounded finish that lingers in a pleasant way. Whether brewed hot or over ice, Adham holds its character perfectly.
The price point is fair, especially considering the quality and consistency of the roast. It’s the kind of everyday specialty coffee that feels premium without pushing you to overspend. On the other hand, their Ronaldo blend offers a beautiful flavor profile as well but sits on the higher end of the price range — delicious, but harder to justify for regular use.
Black Knight products are widely available, I usually order their beans through Ninja App or find them at local specialty retailers like Modern Supply, and they’re also available online for direct purchase.
What Black Knight has done well is create a brand that feels distinctly Saudi but can compete with international roasters. The attention to detail, quality control, and flavor design make it clear that this is more than just another local brand, it’s a confident player shaping how specialty coffee is perceived in the Kingdom.
