Tea-Tastic Journey

How do you like your tea?


In the movie “Siberian Education,” grandfather Kuzya tells us the rules of drinking tea: “First, we enjoy its warmth and we appreciate its aroma. And only then do we taste its flavor. Three pleasures in one. And to think, it’s only just water!”

Jesr el Musayab Resturant – Chai the Iraqi Way

It’s famous for being concentrated and extra sweet. We went to try it at Jesr el Musayab in Dhahran.

Location: Amwaj Mall, Prince Faisal bin Fahd Rd., Dhahran

Indian Tea – Karak

Location: Antr Tea, Prince Faisal bin Fahd Rd., Khobar

Ceylon Tea

With a soothing aroma, the saffron and mint flavored Ceylon tea is just delightful. We had it at the Herbal Tea Café in Khobar.

Location: Herbal Tea Café, Prince Turki St., Corniche, Khobar

Heritage Village Market – Al Omda Tea (The Yemeni Way)

yemenitea_alahsa_2017_haa-2What makes this tea taste special is the mix of flavors of the special Yemeni Kabboos tea and basil together. According to Al Omda, who served us the teapot, the basil shouldn’t stay long in the teacup or it will ruin the balance of flavors. We enjoyed it in the Heritage Village in Al Ahsa, and as we sat sipping our tea under the soft drizzle of the end of the winter, the experience was unforgettable!

Location: Heritage Village Market, Ain Najm Rd., Mubarraz, Al Ahsa

Blooming Tea – Blooming Garden Café

This hand-assembled blooming jasmine tea all the way from China leaves you in awe. Served in a glass pot, you get to see your jasmine tea as it blooms ready for you to drink!

Location: King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Rd. & Prince Faisal bin Fahad Rd., Khobar
