Dobra Cajovna (also Dobrá Tea, Dobrá čajovna) is a tea house franchise originating in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic, but which has since opened in many other cities around the world including (at the time of this writing) two US locations, one in Burlington, Vermont and a second in Madison, Wisconsin. Dobra (meaning "good" in Czech) specializes in serving fine loose-leaf teas brewed and served expertly in the manner of each tea's country of origin. The staff (known as Tea Devotees) are specially trained for all the varieties of tea they carry, and are very careful with water temperature and steeping time to try for the best possible cup.

There is a diverse selection of teas available, from Indian chai and Darjeeling to Chinese white tea, pu-erh and Japanese matcha, and even a full-leaf Earl Grey which is bound to be a surprise for people who are used to bagged teas made with scalding water.

Aside from the tea itself, Dobra's atmosphere is uniquely peaceful when compared to the typical US coffee/tea house (eg: Starbucks, Peet's Coffee and Tea, Tealuxe). Rather than promoting the "cup-on-the-run" routine so common in US cities, Dobra's calming music, dim lighting, and friendly staff emphasize the idea of mindfulness with every sip. Also served are pastries, couscous with fruit, spiced pita, and other snacks to compliment the beverages. Although many of their teas are available by mail through their [http://www.dobratea.com/index.php?toc=fullshop online store] , Dobra reserves its best teas for customers visiting the tea room in person.
