Reported by Marian opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

A luxury café in Dubai has begun serving what it claims is the world’s most expensive coffee — at nearly 1,000 per cup.

What We Know:

• The brew is made from rare Panama Hacienda La Esmeralda beans, some of the most sought-after in the specialty coffee world.
• These beans were sold at auction for record-breaking prices, exceeding $4,000 per kilogram.
• The coffee is brewed using a Japanese siphon method and served with gold-plated accessories for an ultra-premium experience.

Why It Matters:

• Highlights the growing demand for ultra-luxury food and beverage experiences in global hotspots like Dubai.
• Underscores how coffee culture has evolved into a status symbol for elite consumers.
• Raises questions about sustainability and access in the global coffee supply chain.

What to Watch:

• Reactions from coffee connoisseurs and sustainability advocates.
• Whether similar offerings emerge in other luxury markets.
• The long-term impact on rare bean sourcing and ethical trade.
