| - A tea shop that's more than just a place to get tea - it's a place to *experience* tea. And yes, there is a difference. :)
The experience begins at the door. You walk in, grab a little green binder and a bell, and find the seat that most speaks to you. There are conventional tables, but also lots of soft pillows to sit on and comfy little hideaway spaces all throughout the shop. No two seats are the same in this beautiful location.
Once you find the perfect spot, open the menu and begin the journey. The binder has tabs for every type of tea - white tea, green tea, black tea, oolong tea, specialty teas, and more. There is not just a line about what tea options you have, there is a full story about the tea, the flavors, the way it is created, the best way to steep it, and the land from which it came (complete with any legends or lore that accompany it).
Plan to spend at least 5-10 minutes selecting your tea, unless you're a regular and know what you like. (And even then, unless you only like 1 or 2 teas, plan to spend a long time browsing!)
Don't forget to check out the food menu in the back of the binder. The plates are small, but the servings are hearty. The babaganoush is a personal favorite, served with warm pita and fresh veggies. The hummus is a solid bet as well, and the pita lebanon is spiced more perfectly than any pita bread that ever came before it! They also serve enormous bowls of miso soup unlike any you've ever had. Delicious and just what you need on a chilly day in this escape from reality.
Once you've decided on your tea and your snacks, ring your little bell. Like magic, one of the tea masters will arrive at your table and take your order.
When they bring the tea back, you'll gain a few more pearls of wisdom about the varietal, including how long to steep your next serving. You receive a small pot with the tea leaves, and a large pot of hot water, kept toasty above a candle's flame, as well as your tea cup.
Stay as long as you like, taking in the earthy incense scents, enjoying the vast array of musical selections, exploring the art and photographs on the walls, or working on your own great masterpiece at your table. (Yes, they have free WiFi, just ask your server for the password.)
When you're ready to head back to reality, leave your tea mugs and plates at the table and go to the front counter. You can ring out with cash or card (and you can tip on your card from the Square machine).
Especially as winter draws near and the temperatures drop, you'll find no better warm, welcoming escape than Dobra Tea.
