Wide variety of tea, loved the vessels the teas were served in and going to the shoes-off area to enjoy the tea there.

This was a fantastic visit. They have a large variety of teas available. The small plates were perfect for a light lunch or snack.

So well priced and comfy. Very welcoming vibe. Would have loved this place even more when I was younger.

Tea with a foot in my rear! I’m shocked.
Angry, inadequate tea service, over charged, and served wrong food/drink in to-go containers. New owners……….- should check in.
When this teahouse opened up, my children were young. It was a great place to have a slow, floor hang, and tea ceremony with snacks. Through the years, I’ve sat at least hundred times in this space, for tea, lunch, dates, business meetings……
I moved just outside Asheville during Covid but still had an office on Patton in the WF building. My children would walk here while I worked, maybe twice a week. This was a safe and beautiful space.
Last night was only the second time since Helene that I’ve been, and this was meant to be special. I took my 14 yo for Valentine’s and she brought her fancy camera to take photos of us, and this nostalgic space. I drove an hour for this.
Never again.
1) We prepaid for food that was unavailable and wasn’t offered a refund. And you pre-tip which was 30% of my bill. So I paid an extra 40-50% for the rudeness to come.
2) What came to the table was wrong; both tea service and food. We were served in to-go boxes and when I asked for plates and the missing items, the staff openly smirked and grumbled about us, in front of my 14 yo. Apparently they start putting everything in to-go boxes an hour before closing. When I asked for the milk and honey that was meant to accompany my tea, the DISHWASHER told me we needed to promptly return the tea and honey dishes and looked at the door and said we close promptly at 8. We walked in at 7:20, paid the additional parking and ordered by 7:30.
I told them I was shocked, and that I didn’t think they were acting with the owners interest or historical intention and the dishwasher piped in again to play trivia over the owners name.
This isn’t how you let someone know there’s a new owner. But I let them know I won’t be back. There are other tea shops now.

We absolutely adore going to any Dobra location. Always peaceful, delicious and so nourishing in every way. This business is a gift to Asheville. Thank you Dobra!!

Dobra Tea is an VIBE! I ordered the Forest Dragon tea, and it was unexpectedly delicious—earthy, complex, and truly unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Easily one of the best teas I’ve ever had. We also shared the almond cookie tea, which paired beautifully.

We sat in the back room with floor seating, and the entire tea service was a ritual of calm, presence, and beauty. The space is super chill and relaxing.

The staff were friendly. A must-stop in Asheville.

My favorite tea house every where; I wish it wasn't 4 hours from home. Every time I come through Asheville I have to stop in. The menu is so extensive, I can find a new food adventure every visit.

Incredible place with a lot of thought put into ingredients. Good gf and dairy free options.

I have been here many times over the years when visiting. It’s such a fun experience and place to enjoy. They serve the tea traditionally like the country it comes from. The brown butter raspberry cake is a delicious pairing for the tea.

One of our favorite places. Not always consistently service though.
