The ethically sourced roast coffee producer brings an extensive range of products to cater to coffee enthusiasts in the country and abroad
Dubai(News Desk)::Flava Coffee, a Dubai-based producer of specialty roasted coffee, unique for its signature blends and coffee brewing equipment, has forayed into the UAE at a time when the food and beverage (F&B) market is experiencing robust growth. The combined coffee sales revenue in the GCC is expected to reach US$6.84 billion in 2024.
Revenue generated in supermarkets and convenience stores in the coffee market in the GCC amounts to
US$2.43 billion in 2024, according to Statista, a global market intelligence provider. Revenue generated
in restaurants and cafes amounts to US$4.40 billion in 2024. Combined revenue amounts to USD 6.84
billion in 2024.
The hotel, restaurant, and cafe (HoReCa) sector, one of the key drivers of the food and beverage (F&B)
industry, has enhanced the coffee culture, pushed by large demand from consumers, both local and
international, for the beverage. More than 27,000 restaurants and cafes and another 1,200 hotels are
operational across the country, with Dubai hosting more than half of the total. To cater to such a large
diaspora of coffee consumers, Flava Coffee has crafted distinct coffee products in tune with the palates of
coffee enthusiasts who want to savor the experience of drinking rich and stimulating beverages.
Unlike instant coffee, roasted coffee is brewed to optimally extract the flavor and aroma of the drink. As a
one-stop producer of roasted coffee, Flava Coffee delivers whole beans, ground coffee, drip bags, and
capsules as single-serve options to B2B markets like hotels, restaurants, cafes, and businesses in the
GCC. They also offer private labeling to coffee shops that are seeking to develop their brands. The
expansion of the coffee industry is reflected in the growth of the roasted coffee market, whose revenue is
soaring towards US$740 million (Dh2.71 billion) by the end of 2024, followed by an anticipated meteoric
rise to US$813.50 million (Dh2.98 billion) in the next five years.
Founded in 2023 by Mr. Safdar Badami, a visionary entrepreneur, Flava Coffee – a bean-to-cup coffee
supplier – is committed to carving a niche for itself in the roasted coffee market with its specialty products.
“The coffee culture is evolving fast in the UAE and its surrounding regions. We see a spike in coffee
choices, especially among regular consumers of the drink who are on the hunt for high-quality coffee.
