Tchai-Ovna Fine Teas, based in Glasgow, is a speciality leaf tea shop and blenders which retails a wide variety of tea online and wholesales to other businesses. It also exists as a pop-up tea shop in areas of Scotland and Northern England. It was formerly a tea-house and music venue situated in the West End of Glasgow where it served teas, as well as vegetarian and vegan foodstuffs.[1][2] Tchai-Ovna was a popular venue for music, poetry readings and dramatic performances, and an arts exhibition space. [3] It also hosted musical events, with performances from songwriters, jazz musicians and other music artists.[4] Tchai-Ovna's name was inspired by the teahouses (čajovny) in the Czech Republic.[5]
Tchai-Ovna faced closure due to a new development of luxury flats on Otago Lane. A community campaign to save Otago Lane attempted to retain the tea house.[6] This campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, and the tea house closed in mid 2023.[7] Tchai-Ovna tea products can still be purchased online.[8]
