Life
Obsessed with matcha? Us too. As the health benefits outweigh everything, let us look at some of the best Dubai Matcha cafés to visit.
Known for its host of health benefits, matcha is best for both its energising and detoxifying properties. This highly sought-after drink is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins like EGCG, which help fight inflammation and support heart health. It provides a steady energy boost without the jitters of coffee, thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus. Matcha also supports metabolism, aiding in weight management, and may enhance brain function, improving memory and concentration.
So, if you’re looking to skip coffees and adapt to a natural source of caffeine, Dubai offers an array of chlorophyll-infused beverages that we simply can’t resist.
