In a city defined by its pursuit of luxury and world records, Dubai has brewed another global headline. Julith Café has officially launched the world’s most expensive coffee, with a single cup priced at an astonishing 3,600 dirhams (nearly $1,000).
The $600,000 Bean
The foundation of this opulent beverage is the ultra-rare Panamanian “Nido 7 Geisha” coffee bean. Julith Café secured these prized beans at auction for approximately $600,000 (2.2 million dirhams), setting a new world record for the highest price ever paid for coffee beans. This extraordinary investment underscores the exclusivity and rarity of the coffee being offered.
An Unparalleled Tasting Experience
For connoisseurs willing to indulge, the Nido 7 Geisha brew promises a refined and complex sensory journey. The coffee is described as having a delicate bouquet of floral and fruity notes, with distinct hints of jasmine, orange, and apricot. The café plans to serve a limited run of approximately 400 cups, ensuring that each one is a unique and memorable experience.
Dubai’s Culture of Luxury
This launch reaffirms Dubai’s status as a global hub for extravagant experiences. Julith Café’s achievement shatters the city’s previous Guinness World Record for the most expensive coffee, which was set just a month prior at 2,500 dirhams per cup. While some residents have described the new price point as “shocking but typical of Dubai,” the launch has generated significant buzz among those eager to sample the world’s most premium blend.
In a move that enhances its exclusivity, Julith has confirmed that the Nido 7 Geisha beans will not be shared or sold. A small portion has been reserved for Dubai’s ruling family, further cementing the coffee’s legendary status within the city’s culinary scene.
