The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse

We were more than impressed with the amazing experience we had. Very cute teahouse with an impressive menu. Huge selection of teas from all over the world in addition to an interesting wine list. We ordered a variety of dishes but my favorites were the Korean fried noodles and the Persian kufteh. The place is very vegetarian friendly. Service was impeccable in spite of a busy Saturday afternoon.

***reserve well ahead of time*** Perfect tea house, beautiful space to gather with friends. The afternoon tea service from 3p-5p is just right and generally priced around $30pp There is not a lot of parking AND you should definitely make a reservation. If you're planning for a weekend visit get your reservation more than a week in advance.

Boulder Dushanbe Tea House had been on my list for quite some time, primarily for its stunning decor, history and the variety of teas it offers. The decor features lush plants and fountains, giving it a very calm and serene look. The vibe is great, making it a lovely place to relax. From an experience and ambience perspective, it’s a beautiful spot worth visiting. However, as a teahouse, it falls short, the teas were underwhelming and far from what I expected. We tried the Malaysian Sambal Curry, which had great flavors and was a definite hit. The Spicy Indonesian Peanut Noodles, however, leaned too much on the sweeter side and lacked any spice. As excited as we were to try their teas, we were left disappointed. They were weak, lacked body and had very little tea leaves. My friend’s tea was quite literally just boiled water with little to no flavor. We also tried a milk-based tea, London Fog, which was also average at best, nothing special. On a brighter note, we did enjoy our dessert, the Mocha Tortoni Mousse, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, this place is a mixed bag. If you are visiting Boulder, it’s worth checking out for the ambience and the food, but don’t expect much from the teas.

Tea time here is such a magical setting. Highly recommend! The building has so much history and the construction of it down to the details are just incredible. The afternoon tea highlight was the tea! The food wasn’t out of this world, but the service and atmosphere was. Lemon scone and the carrot cake were the only items that stood out. The rest needs a little more love. I also had the Full Moon Spice tea that I loved! It had almonds and was a more bitter but very full tea!

The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is breathtakingly beautiful! The food was great as was the service. I enjoyed the Spicy Indonesian Peanut Noodles. It was very busy despite going on a weekday for lunch, so recommend getting a reservation beforehand. There was a ton of seating both outside and inside. This place is definitely worth a stop if in the Boulder area!
