Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse

Boulder


It's impossible to find better ambience than at this incredible Tajik teahouse, a gift from Dushanbe, Boulder’s sister city. The elaborate carvings and paintings were reassembled over an eight-year period on the edge of Central Park.

It's too bad the fusion fare is so lackluster, but it's worth coming here for a pot of tea and the peaceful zen-like environment.
