  • I went to Dobra Tea on probably the snowiest Saturday of 2015 which made the delight of sipping Tea just more delightful. This place takes me right back to my High School days working at my Mom's Teastore [miss you mom - and the Marktfrau store] with many familiar names and terms. I arrived here with my Tepper ladies at High Noon after trekking our way up through the snowy slopes of Murray avenue and were greatly with a fresh fragrant smell of loose leaf green and oolong teas. The front of the shop is an actual store where one can purchase many varieties of loose leaf teas, a few tea cups and the needed tools to make it at home, but our goal was the Tea house portion in the back of Dobra. Behind the curtain there are a multitude of tables and benches where arriving in groups is quite encouraged. Having arrived slightly before everybody else [on foot we had no issues with the snow] I desperately needed to warm up. On the front door there was [faux pas me I don't care] a sign for hot chocolate which was just calling my name. Find a picture of it somewhere amongst the gallery. It was rich in flavor and steamed just to the correct temperature without the slight burnt milk flavor which usually scorches my tongue at restaurants. With our party in tact we got to ordering. After stumbling through the large menu [the server will gladly help you with this] and the delightfully delicate descriptions of each tea [Sarah got the best kick of these] we rang the bell [love it!] for the server to come. We had two pots communally and one of our ladies had the rooibos masala [no caffeine for this chickie -- rooibos is a herbal african bush which is steeped as tea is and 100% caffeine free]. We had the flavored plum tea which is a black tea with dried plums. Some of the dried fruit is left in the pot for added flavor. I was happy with the correct tartness I was expecting. I was disappointed that we got through it too quickly [only 1 infusion]. We then had the Jin Xuan Oolong which bears a nutty flavor, perfect for spring or summer. This is my kind of Tea! I could drink for ages. Thankfully Oolongs are standard to all our Chinese restaurants. Alongside the tea we ordered a hummus plater as well as the Baba Ganoush, an order of the dried fruit and the 6 tea cookies [yes - we feast!!] The Baba Ganoush was perfectly made [this is my current favorite thing to snack on - I may go on a rampage like my mother did with Obatzda back in the day] but by far the best were the Tea cookies. They were perfectly spiced, not too spicy, not too sweet and just moist enough. Last but not least [We are greedy girls] we had the Bai Mu Dan, which is a light white tea that will give you multiple infusions as a Gong Fu Tea. The Gong Fu Tea ceremony is the ritualistic pouring of Tea stemming of the Chaozhou in the Guangdong province in Southeast China. The Gong Fu Cha [mostly me, but other learned quickly] will systematically infuse and pour the tea to all those participating in the ritual. It gives the Gong Fu Cha [teacher] a sense of peace and serenity and the guests a stimulated experience. All in all this experience was beyond enjoyable and I do urge you to check it out!
