Arabica, Coffee Planet & our franchise partners Specialty coffee According to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), specialty coffee is coffee that scores 80 points or above (out of 100) when it is graded by coffee professionals. Specialty coffee is now the fastest growing sector of the coffee market as global consumers begin to appreciate the taste, depth and complexity of great coffee. Coffee roasters, vendors and café owners have the opportunity to benefit from this trend which is projected to be the fastest growing sector within coffee for the foreseeable future. If people wish to have the best watch they choose Swiss-made. If they want the best leather goods then Italy is top of the list. Why? Because the leading brands in these countries combine heritage and skills with new processes and techniques to create the world s best. At Coffee Planet we roast our 100% Arabica specialty coffee in our own roastery on the Arabian Peninsula; where Arabica roasting began over 500 years ago. The combination of this heritage, the world s finest Arabica beans and our expert know-how, helps us create truly unique specialty coffees. We are looking for franchise partners to help as many people as possible experience and enjoy our 100% Arabica specialty coffees; combined with wholesome food in unique and inspiring settings. We already work with franchise partners in several countries across the world and we believe there is a huge global-opportunity for Coffee Planet.
1500 2009 Our love of coffee and determination didn t stop there and by 2007, we expanded to offer a complete coffee solution to leading five-star hotels, catering companies, airlines and offices. In 2008, we opened our new roastery in Dubai, which meant we had total control of roasting our specialty coffee blends and single origin coffees. We then expanded into retail across the UAE and wider GCC region, selling coffee in supermarkets and specialist food stores. Coffee Planet is now a multi-million dollar success story through our own brand and via roasting privatelabel coffee for leading companies across the globe. We plan to keep growing until everyone in the world has the opportunity to experience and enjoy our 100% Arabica specialty coffee. We first started our coffee venture in 2005, when the local coffee-landscape in the UAE was very different and somewhat ordinary. With the goal to help people experience the finest global Arabica coffee, we set out to look at how coffee was being made, who was growing what and how we could develop our own great tasting blends. Launching Coffee Planet on the Arabian Peninsula made perfect sense to us, since what better place to learn from the past 500 years of Arabica coffee roasting and apply our modern approach. 2007 2017 & beyond In 2009 we launched our first franchised café concept in the UAE, while 2011 witnessed our global expansion of franchised cafés into other international markets. Our first task was to improve the quality of coffee sold on-the-go in highway convenience stores. We quickly got to work and signed our first partnership with two major blue-chip fuel companies in the UAE, to serve our freshly roasted, 100% Arabica coffee with fresh milk.
Our mission is to provide our customers with the finest global Arabica coffee, roasted and delivered perfectly every time. At Coffee Planet we take great pride in our coffee. We want all of our customers to experience the joy of a fabulous cup of coffee every time they choose Coffee Planet. We hope that we can do our bit to help customers around the world demand a better-quality coffee experience.
