TL;DR

Reports suggest that local coffee, especially cardamom-flavoured coffee, may not suit everyone. For tea souvenirs, travellers commonly buy loose blends with mango, guava, date or hibiscus, although flavour preferences vary widely.

One report advises against local coffee, particularly cardamom versions. If you do not enjoy strongly spiced flavours, try a cup first or buy only a small pack.
