I am Waqar Al Hammadi, a specialty coffee professional and content creator working at the intersection of coffee and media. My journey began with curiosity and passion, which led me to become the UAE AeroPress Champion and later represent the UAE on the global stage, achieving 4th place at the World AeroPress Championship in Canada.

I founded **Relam Coffee Roastery** as a passion-driven business rooted in entrepreneurship and sustainability. At Relam, we roast specialty coffee based on each individual’s personal taste, offering a customized and integrated experience that values detail while reducing waste and overproduction. We believe every cup carries a story, and every palate has its own path.

Sustainability is a core pillar of Relam’s business model. Our work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly responsible consumption and environmental protection. Unused or expired coffee is repurposed into recycled products such as natural coffee scrubs and plant compost, supporting a circular economy approach. In addition, we operate using eco-friendly, carbon-emission-free coffee machines, reinforcing our commitment to minimizing environmental impact.

Beyond coffee, I work in content creation and media, focusing on delivering authentic experiences that blend coffee, dialogue, and human stories. Through this, I aim to create spaces for inspiration, creativity, and community-building that truly reflect who I am and what I believe in.
