On our recent trip to Boulder, we stopped by the beautiful Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse, which was created to celebrate sister city ties between Boulder and Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Here are a few photos.

From 1987 -1990, more than 40 artisans in several cities of Tajikistan created the decorative elements our Teahouse, including its hand-carved and hand-painted ceiling, tables, stools, columns, and exterior ceramic panels. Often these skills are handed down from generation to generation within families.
