“…In addition, with the game-changing risk that emerged during Covid-19 for the last three years, coffeepreneurs must also adapt to the lockdown situation while still making sales run well. So creative thinking is needed in adapting it to other sustainable sales methods, such as e-commerce which can be taken as an example in the UAE and Indonesia which are super crowded online because people's need for coffee has changed their buying behaviour significantly (Maspul, 2021).…”

The progress of the coffee trend globally is one of the options for developing SMEs in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. The third-wave generation of specialty coffee is growing with a large selection of artisanal coffee drinks, empowering the latest generation to follow the coffee industry's value chain through coffee skills and sustainability. Sustainability in the coffee value chain will be connected to the three-bottom legs that make it sustainable in the social economy and environment. Eastern Province has the potential to become a coffee hub in tackling challenges in the coffee value chain. Still, stakeholder empowerment is needed for coffeeprenuers in Eastern Province to make coffee value chains resilient collaboratively. Creative process strategies are required to investigate the advancement in ideas and innovations. This qualitative descriptive study will help the catch in opening the eyes of the global coffee community and especially in Saudi Arabia, in seeing the opportunity for the coffee value chain in the region.

“…With the demand for quality coffee increasing (Guimaraes et al, 2020; Maspul, 2021), there has been a particular interest in the search for beans with better cupping profiles (Borrella et al, 2015; Raveendran & Murthy, 2022). Different coffee producing countries are nowadays focusing on specialty coffee production (Guimaraes et al, 2020; Putri et al, 2019; Raveendran & Murthy, 2022), such is the case of Rwanda where 244 washed coffee processing facilities were built between 2002 and 2015 (Ortega et al, 2019).…”

In many coffee‐producing countries, the ellipsoidal‐shaped seeds called peaberries are often labeled as a defect because of their shape and reduced size, going against the market demand for large‐sized standard coffee beans. Nevertheless, the peaberry natural occurrence on the coffee plantations is significant, accounting for 5%–7% of the total harvested coffee for Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora, the most planted species worldwide. Nevertheless, recent growth in the peaberry market has happened due to exceptional cupping scores for this specific bean type; however, the relationship between these scores and the shape of the bean was not yet recorded in the literature. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate and compare the impact of the shape and size of the peaberry against the standard beans in different postharvest processes: Drying, roasting (colorimetry and inner roasting profiles), grinding (compressive and shear force tests) and overall quality by cupping analysis. Coffea arabica L. var. Cenicafé 1 was used throughout all the experiments, where advanced methods were used to increase the accuracy of the results and deeply characterize the process behavior. The results of this research allow to understand the peaberry postharvest behavior better and add significant value to this often‐underrated bean condition. The peaberries demonstrated shape influence in the different evaluated parameters, allowing them to dry faster, roast evenly, avoid burnt spots, and collapse at homogeneous forces while attaining the same high cup scores as a standard coffee bean.Practical applicationsUnderstanding the peaberries' shape and size influence different postharvest processes is crucial to comprehend their value. By gaining insights, into how these unique beans interact with stages of processing, producers can control and predict their behavior leading to more consistent and optimized results. The findings of this research provide an opportunity to fully incorporate peaberries into the coffee product without considering them as defective beans or expanding market trends. Generally, peaberries were often seen as undesirable because they did not match the bean size and shape. However, their exceptional performance in drying, roasting, grinding and cupping dispels these misconceptions, highlighting their value and contribution to coffee quality. As a result, coffee producers can embrace peaberries as valuable beans without discarding or downgrading them. This newfound appreciation for peaberries does not only reduce waste, but it also diversifies coffee offerings to meet consumer preferences and enriches the industry.

“…The proliferation of some coffee outlets such as Coffee Shops in several big cities in Saudi Arabia indicates that coffee is now increasingly loved by millennials and has become the most robust trend so that it can strengthen the local economy apart from the advancement of the oil industry as the primary source of the economy in this country since its establishment. Coffee is also a favourite drink to hang out with or even a friend when meeting colleagues, becoming a rendezvous apart from home and work (Jang et al, 2015;Maspul, 2022).…”

“…Their growing popularity is well deserved and modernised. In serving authentic coffee, he has particular expertise that has been standardised globally through the Specialty Coffee Association rather than using other elements such as sugar and different syrups to change the beverage's taste (Boaventura et al, 2018;Maspul, 2022).…”

Local wisdom is a valuable heritage of society; its existence maintains the community's identity. Coffee, which is the history of the Arabs, is a priceless heritage and local wisdom of national identity in the Arabian peninsula. Saudi Arabia nevertheless maintains this local wisdom and has strengthened it as a valuable identity. However, with diversification rather than local wisdom itself, it will enrich identity references, in this case with third-wave acculturation, which has become a global trend in the coffee value chain. This paper is a qualitative descriptive which, through the literature, observations, site visits and interviews, which were analysed, concluded that the acculturation of coffee in Saudi Arabia has become more diversified and strengthens the sustainable economy in the coffee value chain from farm to cup. Moreover, it is envisioned that Saudi Coffee 2022 will be able to mitigate the coffee sustainability challenges that will arise in the next generation.
