Double Apple Shisha Explained
If shisha has a signature flavour, it's double apple. Here's what it actually is and why it's on every menu from Cairo to London.
What it is
Double apple ("tuffah") blends sweet red apple with an aniseed/liquorice note, giving it that distinctive, slightly savoury depth. It's smooth, rich and instantly recognisable.
How to enjoy it
Great on its own, and the base for the classic AA mint (apple + mint). Al Fakher's double apple is the benchmark most lounges pour.
