India, Nov. 7 -- A Dubai-based cafe is making sure that its customers pay an exorbitant amount to purchase a cup of coffee. The Julith cafe is selling a cup of rare coffee for nearly $1,000.

The Independent reported that the cafe is offering the beverage that could win the title of the "world's most expensive cup". It is being sold for 3,600 dirhams or about $980. What sets this apart is the Nido 7 variety of Geisha beans, a rare and premium strain grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Bare in western Panama.

"The wait is finally over. The world's most celebrated and highest graded coffee of all time has arrived at Julith," Serkan Sagsoz, co-founder of the Julith cafe with the pricey offering, said in a Facebook video.
