Well, the Demarera sugar i've seen is much yellower and more opaque
than the so-called "raw" sugar and less crystalline, although it
certainly has crystals. "Raw" sugar is certainly not raw, only *less*
refined than standard white crystals, at least theoretically.

Your Coffee Crystals are kinda like the brand named product "Sugar in
the Raw" available in restaurant packets the US.
Now, my question:
I know that sugar from sugar cane is "period", but i was wondering if
in the Near East they ever used palm sugar? Or did they not have the
right kinds of palms for that?
I've eaten palm sugar in Southeast Asia (and can sometimes find it in
Thai markets around here) and it has a most delightful flavor.
Just wondering if it might be "period" for my Near Eastern persona...
