It is Mental Health Awareness month and Tania’s Tea House is encouraging everyone in need to TLC to head to its second branch Sereni-Tea, which is located at the Keyani wellness centre in Umm Seqeim.

While the professionals will be there to help, indulging in the cafe culture specialty of Tania’s Tea House can help improving your mental health.

Guests are encouraged to escape the nuances of one’s daily life whilst nourishing one’s mind, body, and soul with the help of anti-inflammatory ingredients that are gut-healing. Their aesthetic spaces with nourishing food can help build resilience and also provide an escapism, a break from the daily grind.

Having been diagnosed with chronic pain, an autoimmune disease & severe food allergies, Tania wanted to create a space that promotes holistic well-being, inclusive offerings friendly towards all dietary restriction, and the fun, yet informative promotion of ingredients that increase well-being (whether its a boost of serotonin to aid mood related disorders and anxiety, calming ingredients that ease digestion).

Well-being and self-love runs deeper than gimmicky quotes and captions, and is harder than it looks to implement, and we are here to remind you that your health (mental, physical, spiritual) needs nurturing and its not selfish to put any of that first. Enjoy our quirky themed coffee & tea latte art & our wellness-themed take-away cups to remind you that your well-being is essential and that you can’t pour from an empty cup…

 
SELF-CARE INDUCING TEAS
we see tea as more than just a beverage, but a way of life to increase holistic wellness. (see below for some teas we’ve highlighted as extremely beneficial to one’s mental and physical health) Dine-in Teas (we have over 30 flavors) with the option of having in the form of: black, iced, latte, or iced latte, with a wide range of nut mylk alternatives & the option of non-sugar sweeteners.
 
*all our teas are available for dine-in, take-away and retail packaging for online orders (check out our beau-tea-ful terrazzo, irrescent packaging)
DOPAMINE RELEASING + SEROTONIN BOOSTING TEAS
When released, dopamine, is a neurotransmitter that helps us regulate feelings of pleasure. Studies show that turmeric can help enhance one’s mood and releases dopamine. Along with enhancing one’s well-being, it also acts as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter than plays a key role in our mood, sleep, digestion, muscle & bone health. Low serotonin levels can cause poor sleep, inflammation, depression and anxiety. High serotonin can therefore aid our sleep, mood, and reduce inflammation and pain. L-theanine, and ingredient found in teas, and ginger have both proved to increase serotonin.
 
Check out our flavors below that release dopamine and boost serotonin:
Golden glow (ginger, turmeric, carrot, beet, pineapple & calendula petals)
A magical elixir of ginger, turmeric, carrot, beet, and pineapple that aids skin, hair and cell repair, aids inflammation, full of antioxidants and releases dopamine.
Turmeric Ginger (black tea, turmeric, calendula, peaches & ginger)
Dopamine-releasing Turmeric meets sultry ginger (which reduces inflammation & boosts serotonin) & peach (which is high in vitamin C and aids ones’ immunity)

Pests, expired food, poor hygiene: Why 69 Abu Dhabi restaurants and food shops were closed

Abu Dhabi authorities have closed 69 food establishments since last year after inspectors uncovered serious food safety violations, including pest infestations, expired products and poor hygiene standards.

The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) said 55 businesses were shut down in 2025, while another 14 have been closed so far in 2026 after repeatedly failing to comply with food safety requirements.

Why were they closed?

Officials said the most common violations included:

  • Selling expired food products
  • Insects and pests in food preparation areas
  • Poor hygiene practices
  • Improper storage of perishable food
  • Failure to meet mandatory food safety requirements

Authorities stressed that closure is only used as a last resort after businesses fail to respond to warnings and corrective notices. The crackdown comes as consumers continue to report food safety concerns across the emirate.

What happens next?

Closed establishments are only allowed to reopen once inspectors confirm all violations have been addressed and food safety standards are fully met.

The authority said regular inspections and surprise visits will continue across restaurants, cafeterias, supermarkets and food outlets to help protect public health.

Officials also encouraged residents to report suspected violations and check food safety ratings displayed under the emirate’s Zadna Assessment programme before dining or shopping.

DP World has officially unveiled Dubai Food District, a bold transformation of the Al Aweer Central Fruit and Vegetable Market into one of the largest and most advanced food trade hubs in the world.

Rolling out in phases from 2027, the mega district will more than double the current market’s footprint to 29 million sq ft, bringing trade, storage, processing and distribution together under one roof. Think cold-chain logistics, smart warehousing, food processing, digital solutions, cash-and-carry zones and even a gourmet food hall.

Announced last year by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the project expands beyond fruits and vegetables to include dairy, staples, gourmet and specialty foods, positioning Dubai as a global gateway for food trade and food security.

Built on Al Aweer’s strong legacy, serving over 2,500 traders since 2004, the district aims to boost efficiency, cut supply chain risks and help food businesses reach markets faster and smarter. With multimodal connectivity to more than 20 global markets, DP World is betting big on Dubai’s role at the heart of the future food economy.

There’s nothing like a cool treat to beat the Dubai heat, and this summer, visitors flying into Dubai International Airport (DXB) are in for a delightful surprise, thanks to a collaboration between Brand Dubai and Dubai Airports.

As part of the #DubaiDestinations campaign, colourful ice cream trucks have rolled into DXB’s arrivals area, dishing out frosty delights to jet-lagged passengers, all for free.

Who’s behind the scoop?
It’s none other than KUHP, a quirky, homegrown brand under the ‘Proudly from Dubai’ umbrella. Think premium swirls, chilled drinks, and major “Instagram it before you eat it” vibes.

“We want every arrival to feel the Dubai difference from the moment they land,” say organisers.

From the sweet aroma wafting through the terminal to the flash of the bright trucks, this isn’t your average airport snack stop; it’s a whole summer mood. The idea? Make every traveller’s first taste of Dubai as memorable as the city.

Cool campaign, cooler cause
Beyond just beating the heat, the move also spotlights Dubai’s creative spirit and shines a light on local businesses. It’s a clever way to turn the arrivals hall into an experience, and a pretty sweet start to any UAE adventure.

So next time you land in DXB, keep your eyes peeled near Terminal 3 arrivals. A free ice cream might be the first thing you taste in Dubai,  and not the last.
