According to World Guinness Records, the UAE coffee shop chain 'Roasters' was recently officially certified as a specialty coffee sold at a Downtown Dubai flagship store for 2500 UAE dirham (about 1 million won).
The coffee was extracted using high-quality Panama Esmeralda Geisha beans by hand drip method of V60 (60° angle V-dripper) and served in a traditional Japanese craft, Edo Kiriko crystal cup.
Combining flower, fruity and citrus notes, this coffee offers a sensual experience and has redefined the global standard of luxury coffee.
The record comes after Dubai's coffee industry gained global attention.
According to foreign media, a Dubai start-up surprised the global coffee industry just a week after its foundation at the auction of 'Best of Panama 2025' held last month. The company purchased all 20 kilograms of Washed Geisha coffee from a famous farm in Panama for $604,000 (about 850 million won).
As a result, Dubai is rapidly emerging as the center of specialty coffee.
