This tea shop and restaurant is also a cultural visit, as the building was built by Boulder's sister city in Tajikistan, then taken apart and shipped to Boulder, where the craftsmen reassembled it. It boasts intricate carvings and paintings, a delight to see. They offer a great "high tea" with reservations, and then everyday tea drinking and eating the rest of the time. A great way to taste a variety of teas. It also sits right next to the Boulder Market (Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays) and Central Park.

Savory Spice shop is a fun little shop with free tasting of all kinds of spices. You can often find unique gifts here for that hard to buy for person. Hints: park behind the shop in the Boulder parking garage from Spruce Street, and bring your ticket for the shop to stamp it for free parking. Also, you can buy any spice in any quantity you want in a plastic bag. Saves a bit of money to not pay for the prepackaged glass bottle.
