Doh! (insert sound of palm smacking forehead). Yeah! Right! Levantine 
"Turkish" coffee usually has cardamom added. Yemeni coffee has 
*ginger* added.

I s'pect someone thought calling it "Siamese" would sound better to 
Islamo-phobes than calling it "Syrian Coffee" or "Lebanese Coffee", 
which is what this is starting to sound like.
