Matcha lattes: 13 of the best matcha spots to try in Dubai
But it is best in its classic matcha latte tea form — with a little bit of ice added, of course.
Not only is matcha good for you (it's packed with antioxidants), but it also offers a natural source of caffeine. Unlike its steeped counterparts, matcha is made by grinding shade-grown tea leaves, resulting in a concentrated and vibrant emerald green powder that you can add to any type of milk. When made into a latte, the flavours become next level.
Picture a velvety-smooth, well-balanced, and refreshing treat that gradually releases energy into your body all day. And boy, do we need it.
Here are some of our favourite matcha lattes to enjoy.

Child, 4, dies on Italy holiday as heatwave sweeps Europe sparking wildfires
The boy, just four, from Romania was on holiday with his parents in Sardinia when he was discovered unconscious in the family car - he suffered fatal brain damage A young boy has died from heatstroke in Italy amid a deadly European heatwave as wildfires in Spain threaten a UNESCO site and French cities hit record temperatures. The four-year-old Romanian boy was on holiday with his parents in Olmedo in the northwest of Sardinia. It is thought that the child left the house they were staying at before they realised he was missing earlier today. His devastated parents found him unconscious in the family car, and he was then airlifted to hospital in Rome but sadly died of irreversible brain damage, the hospital confirmed. It comes after heatwave forecast with maps revealed the exact date a 39C heat plume will scorch the UK. The scorching summer this year is causing havoc across the continent, with Italy issuing a red alert warning for seven cities, including Bologna and Florence. Almost 200 firefighters are tackling a fire on Mount Vesuvius as its national park was to closed to the public. Spain has also been forced to endure a heatwave over the past week as temperatures hit close to 40C. On Sunday, a wildfire damaged a UNESCO Roman-era mining site at Les Medulas in the north west of the country and forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. Winds of up to 25mph caused "many difficulties" for firefighters attempting to contain the blaze, according to Juan Carlos Suarez-Quinones, the Castile and Leon regional environment minister. He added: "We will not allow people to return until safety in their communities is absolutely guaranteed." Four people, including two firefighters, suffered minor injuries in the fires. While in the southern town of Tarifa, more than 2,000 people were evacuated, including from hotels and beaches, when a fire flared up again after it was thought to be contained on Friday. Elsewhere on the Iberian peninsula, firefighters battled three massive wildfires in the centre of Portugal, including near Trancoso. It is understood that Morocco is sending a couple of planes to help tackle the blaze after two Portuguese aircrafts broke down. Meanwhile in France, a woman died last Tuesday in the densely wooded Aude region, where the fire broke out in the village of Ribaute. Around 1,800 firefighters were deployed and 1,500 of them worked through the night to hold the flames back. Record temperatures have also been set in at least four weather stations in southern France as the country's second heatwave of the year began. Bordeaux reached an all-time high of 41.6C as records were also broken in Bergerac, Cognac and Saint Girons, according to Meteo France. A total of 12 French departments issued a red alert on Monday, the country's highest heat warning, and four more are expected on Tuesday. In Albania, almost 40 fires were sparked in the past day alone as firefighters and soldiers have been fighting to put them out. The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) estimated that almost 84,000 acres have been scorched across the Balkan country since the beginning of July. Police have claimed that many were caused by arson and more than 20 people have been arrested in connection with them over the past few weeks. Just outside Montenegro's capital of Podgorica, dozens of homes were saved by firefighters after a blaze broke out on inaccessible terrain, as temperatures hit 40C. In nearby Croatia, approximately 150 firefighters spent all night protecting homes from a fire near the port city of Split. While Turkey is experiencing its hottest July since records began 55 years ago. In the northwestern province of Canakkale, more than 2,000 people were evacuated and 77 people needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation following multiple fires around the tourist village of Guzelyali. At least 760 firefighters were dispatched to combat the blazes. Akshay Deoras, a research scientist at the meteorology department in the University of Reading, told AFP: "The heatwave currently affecting France, Spain, and the Balkan countries is not surprising. It is driven by a persistent heat dome over Europe. Heatwaves don't roar like storms - they creep in quietly, but can be just as deadly."

Timothée Chalamet snubs Kylie Jenner's birthday amid split rumours
Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet marked Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday with a cryptic Instagram post and it has sparked fresh speculation about their relationship. Fresh split rumours have been circulating regarding the relationship between Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner after the Hollywood actor snubbed her birthday. The famous Kardashian was celebrating her 28th birthday with a glam party and family but Timothée was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the 29-year-old posted a picture from a historic boxing match showing Muhammad Ali celebrating victory, overlaid with the words 'Dream Big' in red, handwritten-style lettering instead of wishing his girlfriend a happy birthday. The American-French actors cryptic post has now added fuel to fire as fans fear that Kylie and Timothee have officially broken up, reports the Mirror. Timothée and Kylie were first linked in April 2023 after reports surfaced that they had been spending time together. They made their first public appearance as a couple in September that year at Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles, where they were snapped kissing and laughing together in the VIP section. Since then, the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key, occasionally being photographed on outings but avoiding public commentary about one another. Over the past month, fans have noted the absence of any new images of the pair together, with Kylie also posting a series of Instagram Stories featuring sad song lyrics which have further fuelled rumours of a split. The timing and content of Timothée's post on Kylie's birthday left many fans baffled as some believe the 'Dream Big' message may be a subtle reference to his upcoming film Marty Supreme, due for release on Christmas Day. While Timothée decided to publicly snub Kylie's birthday, her famous family marked her big day with their annual warm and emotional posts. Kylie's mum, Kris Jenner shared a carousel of throwback images of her youngest daughter as she wrote: 'Happy birthday to my baby girl!! You are truly beautiful inside and out… You are so smart, strong, creative, loving, kind, funny, and always so supportive… I love you beyond measure… Mommy.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner shared childhood photos alongside the caption 'my little lady forever,' to which Kylie responded: 'kendall jenner !!!!' Khloé Kardashian posted a montage of photos and a video of Kylie holding a cake at what appeared to be a Saturday night birthday gathering. Khloe, 41, captioned it: "Forever and then some, I love you to the moon and back. Happy birthday my girl… My soulmate sister… I love you beyond words, always and forever. With all my heart, Your second mommy, Khloé.' Kourtney Kardashian posted: "Tinker Bell! May you shine forever my little goose sister.' While Kim wrote: 'Kylie's day! Happy Birthday to the goat." The birthday girl also shared her own post, uploading childhood snaps including one where she sits proudly with her first bicycle, captioning it: 'happy birthday to meeee.' The Mirror has approached Timothee and Kylie's representatives for comment on this story.
