Roasters, a posh coffee shop in Dubai, recently set a new world record for the most expensive cup of coffee ever served — a whopping $680. The coffee was made with extremely rare Panamanian Geisha beans from the world-renowned Hacienda La Esmeralda farm in Panama, and served alongside a piece of tiramisu and a scoop of chocolate ice cream infused with the same Geisha beans. Known for their floral, fruity, and citrusy notes, the rare Geisha coffee beans were used by a dedicated barista who prepared the coffee tableside using a temperature-controlled kettle and a V60 dripper. The mystery client was able to read about the brew and the Geisha beans on informational cards prepared as part of the unique experience.
