Matcha lattes: 13 of the best matcha spots to try in Dubai
Whether you love it or hate it, matcha is absolutely all the rage right now. You'll find it in brownies, ice cream and pancakes. You name it.
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.

Japan's 'Empress of Pop' addresses claims Elon Musk is father of her child
A huge Japanese pop star, Ayumi Hamasaki, has addressed the rumours that she secretly had Elon Musk's baby. The speculation started when another of the women Musk had a child with – MAGA author and influencer Ashley St. Clair – told The New York Times that he had a baby with a Japanese pop star. Hamasaki quickly became the primary suspect as fans discussed which J-Pop star St. Clair might have been referring to. 'I've been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it's time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my children,' Hamasaki wrote on her Instagram Story, according to Tokyo Weekender. Hamasaki, 46, has two sons with two different men, born in 2019 and 2021. She has never revealed the identities of the fathers. According to text messages obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Musk texted St. Clair in 2023 about meeting with 'Japanese officials' about becoming a sperm donor for a high-profile Japanese woman. 'He made it seem like it was just his altruism and he generally believed these people should just have children,' St. Clair, who gave birth to his 13th child last year, said. 'They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm,' Musk texted St. Clair before telling her he had agreed to give his sperm to the woman. Musk has previously claimed that 'civilization is going to crumble' if people don't continue to have children, and views his paternal contributions as a way of combating this. Hamasaki laughed off the rumours, admitting its the kind of thing she might do: 'Even my mom laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, 'This seems kind of Ayu-like,' and if I were someone else, I'd probably be saying 'Ayu is the pop star [St Clair] was talking about, right?' But it's just not true,' she said on Instagram. She continued, in a more serious tone: 'Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things, I don't want them to run into the rumors and think they're true, so I'm firmly denying them,' the singer added. Hamasaki is the best-selling solo artist in Japan, having sold over 50million albums and earning her the title 'Empress of Pop' across all of Asia. As of 2025, Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women. Musk's first known children were with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, a Canadian author. The couple had six children together: Their first son, Nevada Alexander, tragically died of SIDS at just 10 weeks old. They later welcomed twins, Griffin and Vivian, in 2004, followed by triplets, Kai, Saxon, and Damian, in 2006. In 2022, Vivian publicly distanced herself from Musk, coming out as transgender, legally changing her name, and adopting her mother's surname. Musk also shares three children with musician Grimes (Claire Boucher). Their first child, X Æ A-Xii, was born in 2020 and became a viral sensation thanks to his name. He was also spotted at the White House last week – without his mother's consent. 'He should not be in public like this,' Grimes wrote following the appearance. 'I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh.' In 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate. Despite a publicly rocky relationship, they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed Tau), reportedly born in 2024. In 2021, Musk quietly had twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-computer interface company Neuralink. The births weren't publicly known until court documents surfaced in 2022. More Trending Since then, Zilis and Musk have had two more children: one in early 2024 and another – a son named Seldon Lycurgus – in February 2025. His child with St. Clair was only revealed in February, after St Clair, who has over a million followers on X wrote: 'Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.' She added: 'I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.' After the billionaire commented 'whoa' in response, St Clair wrote a now deleted comment: 'Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?' Got a story?

'I tried the Harrods £160 Japanese mango and was so surprised'
A food reviewer decided to try a Japanese mango from luxury department store Harrods with a hefty price tag and share her thoughts. As we're getting into summer, many people enjoy mangos around this time of year as they are in season A UK vlogger tried a luxury mango from Harrods and has given her verdict. Laura Khoshaba bought the Japanese mango from Harrods which comes in a box of two for £160. The mangoes are not sold separately. Laura posted a video on TikTok to share her thoughts, where she often reviews expensive food products online. In her post, she included a clip of the mangoes on display in the luxury London department store with a sign that states they are 'one of the most sought-after fruits in the world '. They are grown in the Miyazaki prefecture in the south of Japan and are also known as the 'Egg of the Sun.' The expensive bright red mangoes come in a nice red box with Japanese writing on it and are each wrapped in their own pink packaging. Laura took one out of the box and her first comment was 'that's heavy' as she held the fruit in her hand. According to Bokksu, a Japanese snack box subscription, each Miyazaki mango weighs at least 350 grams. The food reviewer cut one of the Harrods mangoes into pieces to reveal how it looked inside and juice oozed out of the fruit. She said: 'This looks amazing. This is so juicy.' Before taking a bite, she shared that she was 'so excited.' Laura taste tested the mango and was visibly satisfied as she couldn't help but smile while eating it. There was one thing in particular that impressed her. She added: 'That was so smooth, I barely had to chew it. Wow.' The foodie even declared: 'That is the best mango I've ever had in my life.' She gave the Japanese mango a ten out of ten rating. She then turned her attention towards the price as she acknowledged: 'I mean £160? It's unreal though.' Laura described it as 'amazing' and showed how much juice fell onto her hands to emphasise how juicy the mango was. She continued to take bites of the fruit until there was only the skin left and dubbed it the 'best fruit' she has ever had. The display sign above the mangoes in Harrods explains that in order to be called 'Egg of the Sun' mangoes, each fruit has to be grown to the highest standard and pass a 'strict inspection' to make sure the size, colour, shape and sweetness are perfect. Bokksu claims that it's what's inside that sets these mangoes apart from other types. It elaborates: 'Beneath the vibrant skin lies a vivid golden-yellow flesh that is intensely sweet, juicy, and nearly free of fibre. 'The texture is creamy and smooth - so much so that a bite almost dissolves in your mouth. They're not just mangoes - they're an experience.' Laura's TikTok video has amassed more than 900 comments with viewers having their say on the luxury mangoes. One user, taken back by the price, asked: 'What is this mango made of? £160 for what.' Another added: 'No mango is worth £160, no one can convince me.' However, a third user said it 'looks amazing.'

Bianca Censori's sister joins Kanye's crew after denying she's dating his pal
Bianca Censori's younger sister, Angelina, has been spending time with her sibling and Kanye West in Japan after holidaying with the couple in Spain where Bianca caused quite a stir Bianca Censori's sister, Angelina, is officially part of Kanye West's crew after joining the rapper as he jet-sets around the world. Bianca, 30, has sent shockwaves through the showbiz industry since hooking up with Kanye, 48, sporting her barely-there outfits - and now Angelina has been thrust into the spotlight too. After hanging out with Kanye and his gang in Spain last month, where Bianca dropped jaws flashing her nipples in another eye-popping outfit, 20-year-old Angelina is travelling with the rapper's entourage in Japan. The Aussie model took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a series of photos of their latest trip, including images from popular chain restaurant WAGYUMAFIA and snaps of the Japanese skyline. Kanye West bizarrely 'changes name again' four years after complete rebrand Meanwhile, a photo of Kanye posing in designer vintage store Amore in Japan also emerged online. The Jesus Walks star sported a plain black hooded jumper with the hood pulled over his head for the shopping trip as he posed without cracking a smile. A second image also emerged showing graffiti scrawled on a wall that read: 'Ye is GOD,' while a third showed the name of Kanye and ex-wife Kim Kardashian's eldest child North West. During her trip with the controversial rapper, Angelina rubbished rumours she was dating Kanye business partner, Sneako. The whispers came after she shared a series of photos from their Mallorca trip, which included Sneako posing for the camera at a luxury waterfront property Kanye was believed to be staying in while Angelina stunned in a silver string bikini. Fans flocked to social media, suggesting Angelina and Sneako were more than just friends. However, the model shut down any romance rumours by writing on X: "We are not dating." It comes after Bianca 'horrified' locals in Spain when she paraded through the quiet streets of Mallorca in her bra and knickers. Witnesses say locals were left horrified by Bianca's outfit choice for their market tour, with one even heard asking if that was her "real nipple" as she bared all in her the sheer bra. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking 'is that her real nipple?' as they walked by. Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market," a witness told Bianca might have been hit by backlash, but women have been allowed to go topless in some areas of Spain since 2020. Under Catalan equality law, women can sunbathe topless in public places without fear of arrest and authorities can be fined a huge £430,000 if they prevent women from being able to go topless. However, while she didn't break any laws, people were left fuming by the Aussie's outfit choice. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person wrote on X, with another adding: "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views." Another fumed: "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested."
