Starbucks is now serving up real, cold brewed iced coffee for the first time in the Middle East and North Africa.

The new chilled coffee uses a method of coffee making called cold brewing. In cold brewing, baristas slowly steep small batches of coffee beans in cold water for 20 hours to create a sweet, smooth coffee flavour. Rana Shaheen, regional communications and corporate social responsibility manager of Starbucks MENA, says, “At Starbucks, we aim to provide our customers with a perfect beverage and experience every time. The cold brew is a perfect balance of a naturally sweet taste and a refined, smooth finish.”

The cold brew is available at Starbucks stores across the country from today (April 4) onward. Dh17 for a tall; Dh19 for a grande; and Dh21 for a venti.
