The world of coffee is extremely complex and is a multi-billion dollar industry.
Similar to food, the source of the materials and the cook drastically affects the taste. When the beans come from the best farms and the chef knows the right ingredients, the flavour of the coffee is exceptional. Most conventional cups of coffee have little to no flavour/quality.
In the UAE we have many roasters that cook a wide variety of beans that come from different parts of the world. As a consumer, finding beans that match my taste palette takes a lot of time. Consumers have to physically go to stores to try different flavours or purchase beans from the coffee shop's online store.
There needs to be one platform that holds thousands of different varieties of specialty coffee beans around the world, as well as a platform that educates the consumer about everything coffee related. We are that platform at BeanBurds.
BeanBurds is a new digital platform for specialty coffee in the UAE. The homegrown concept promises freshly roasted, premium-quality coffee beans from the finest roasters in the country to give coffee lovers an easy one-stop-shop to discover new flavours using an AI-powered virtual barista.
The virtual barista, Lena, helps coffee connoisseurs and enthusiasts navigate a colourful array of coffees, and after a series of questions, pairs them with the flavour profiles that best fit their preferences. From there, users can customize their coffee cart by filtering through coffee origins, roast levels, flavour notes, preferred roasters as well as price point. Upon checkout, buyers can expect their delivery within two to three days.
BeanBurds has onboarded several roasters across the UAE such as Coffee Planet, Emirati Coffee Roastery, Gold Box Coffee Roasters, Nightjar Coffee Roaster, Nusantara Coffee Roasters, Orbis Coffee Roastery, Tres Maria Coffee Company, Saraya Specialty Coffees, Golden Beans, Coffee Selection Roastery and more, becoming the largest platform of coffee beans in the UAE.
