Vancouver, B.C.
“Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world” is the wise saying on Ooh Cha’s website. Just less than two years old, this
teahouse (drink-in or take-out) was started by a father and daughter who spent time in Japan and while there acquired a love
of good tea and conversation. Closed Sun; oohcha.com or 604/629-1331.

Boulder
An architectural wonder in its own right, this ornate, handcrafted teahouse was a gift to Boulder from its sister city of
Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. Host of the annual Rocky Mountain Tea Festival, the teahouse takes its tea very seriously
but also serves meals. $$; boulderteahouse.com or 303/442-4993.
