Only in Dubai! A local café has shattered all records by serving the world’s most expensive coffee, priced at an astonishing 3,600 dirhams ($980) per cup. The Julith Café, located in an up-and-coming industrial district turned coffee hub, unveiled the ultra-premium brew made from Panama’s rare “Nido 7 Geisha” beans.
Co-founder Serkan Sagsoz announced, “The wait is finally over! The world’s highest-graded coffee of all time has arrived at Julith.” The café plans to serve just 400 cups of this limited-edition coffee starting this weekend.
The exclusive beans were purchased at a record-breaking auction in Panama, where 20 kilograms sold for over 2.2 million dirhams ($600,000) after fierce bidding.
Described as floral, fruity, and tea-like, the coffee boasts hints of jasmine, orange, bergamot, apricot, and peach, offering a “delicate and honey-like” sweetness, according to Sagsoz.
The launch comes just weeks after another Dubai café claimed the Guinness World Record for the world’s most expensive coffee at 2,500 dirhams per cup — a title now overtaken by Julith.
Dubai residents were unsurprised. “It’s shocking, but it’s Dubai,” said one local. “For the wealthy, it’s just another luxurious experience.”
Julith Café says only a select few, including Dubai’s royal family, will get a taste of this extraordinary brew.
