Time to taste the tea.

In June of 1993 on Wenceslas Square, Aleš Juřina and his two friends opened Dobrá čajovna tearoom.

Today, under the company Spolek milců čaje, there are Dobrá čajovna branches in nearly every major city in the Czech Republic.

Czechs have slowly developed a deeper appreciation for the taste and smells of the beverage, combining their visits to tearooms with buying their own blends for home.

They can choose from more than 350 tearooms across the country.

It's an alternative to pubs which sometimes get too smoky and laud.

Čajovna Ve věži is housed in the upper level of a tower.

The views are as important as the decor.

Amana has a laidback vibe.

It's the details that give Amana its otherworldly atmosphere.

The extensive collection of teapots, plates, bowls and cups suits all kinds of tea.

Bílý jeřáb is known for its clean, simple design.

It sells teapots and other paraphernalia in its store located one floor up from the tearoom.

It's all about the space.
