Čajdžinica Džirlo

Sarajevo


Minuscule but brimming with character, Džirlo brews 29 types of tea, many of them made from distinctive Bosnian herbs. They are served in lovely little pots, each distinctive according to the blend. If you can't choose, let the flamboyant owner decide for you. Then unwind on low stools and watch the egg timer for the perfect time to start sipping.
