As the Dubai summer intensifies, with soaring temperatures and longer days, finding a cool oasis becomes paramount for residents and tourists alike. Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder revered for its antioxidant-rich properties, has surged in popularity for its refreshing and energizing qualities. At Brix Café, we are thrilled to present our new Matcha Menu, a diverse array of beverages and baked delights designed to rejuvenate and delight your senses. Let us guide you through the vibrant and flavorful offerings that make our Matcha Menu a must-try experience this season.
The Rise of Matcha: A Global Phenomenon
Originating from Japan, matcha has transcended cultural boundaries to become a global sensation. Unlike traditional green tea, matcha is made from the entire tea leaf, which is finely powdered to preserve its nutrients. This process results in a more potent form of green tea that is delicious and packed with health benefits. Matcha is rich in antioxidants, known to combat free radicals in the body, support heart health, and enhance cognitive functions. Additionally, matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without inducing drowsiness, making it the perfect pick-me-up for hot summer days.
Start Your Day Right with Matcha Croissants
At Brix Café, the best way to start your day is with a dose of deliciousness. Our Matcha Croissant is the perfect morning treat, featuring layers of buttery, flaky pastry filled with luscious matcha creameux and topped with a delicate matcha crumble. This unique twist on the classic croissant offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making it a delightful start to any day. Our Matcha Cream Croissant is an indulgent alternative for those with a sweet tooth, topped with smooth matcha ice cream and sprinkled with vanilla crumbs for an extra layer of sweetness.
Decadent Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Cravings
Matcha’s unique flavor profile lends itself beautifully to desserts, and at Brix Café, we have crafted a selection of treats that highlight the versatility of this vibrant green tea powder. Our Matcha Basque Cheesecake is a rich and creamy delight, perfectly complemented by the tangy yuzu sorbet and the subtle crunch of vanilla crumble. For a lighter yet equally indulgent option, our Matcha Cheesecake features a smooth matcha ganache topped with milk espuma and a sprinkle of black tea crumble. Each bite is a testament to the art of dessert-making, where matcha takes center stage in a symphony of flavors and textures.
Quench Your Thirst with Refreshing Matcha Beverages
As the temperature rises, staying hydrated becomes essential. At Brix Café, we offer a range of refreshing matcha-based beverages that quench your thirst and invigorate your senses. Our Mango Matcha is a vibrant, layered drink that combines the sweetness of Alphonso mango with the creaminess of coconut milk and the frothy richness of matcha. This tropical blend is the perfect antidote to the scorching summer heat. For a classic matcha experience, try our Iced Matcha Latte, available in two delightful variations: one topped with salted vanilla foam for a savory twist, and the other with strawberry foam for a fruity kick.
The Health Benefits of Matcha: A Summer Essential
The health benefits of matcha extend beyond its antioxidant properties. Matcha boosts metabolism, enhances mood, and increases focus, making it an ideal beverage for the busy summer months. Its natural caffeine content provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters associated with coffee, while its L-theanine content promotes a state of calm alertness. Matcha’s anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate summer-related skin irritations, making it a holistic addition to your diet.
