Description
Your baked goods and hot drinks will be transformed with an addition of the Kafe hawaij. Made from cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and clove, the Kafe Hawaij was brought to Israel from Yemen and is traditionally used in fresh coffee to indulge in a cup that’s warm, sweet and pungent.
Think of this fragrant blend as the Middle Eastern pumpkin spice.

New York Shuk is the Brooklyn pantry brand of Ron and Leetal Arazi, a husband-and-wife team who met working in a restaurant kitchen in Israel. In 2013 they opened a "couscous booth" at Smorgasburg, the open-air food market in Brooklyn, and grew it into a line of Middle Eastern and Sephardic pantry staples. The name comes from the Hebrew word for market.
Ron, the culinary director, grew up in a Jewish Moroccan-Lebanese family in Israel and trained as a chef in French and Israeli kitchens. Leetal, the CEO and creative director, studied visual design at University of the Arts London and graduated from culinary school in Israel; her grandfather was a professional baker and her Turkish grandmother a serious home cook.
Their Signature Harissa is based on Ron's grandmother's recipe: a medium-spicy blend of rehydrated dried chiles with lemon, garlic, coriander and cumin. ModernTribe has carried it alongside their za'atar, ground sumac, shawarma spice and Kafe Hawaij, a Yemenite coffee spice of cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and clove.
