About us

Tchai-Ovna Fine Teas is an online retailer and wholesaler of high grade loose leaf teas and our own exquisite blends, based in Glasgow, Scotland. We are home to over 80 carefully chosen, sustainably and ethically harvested, high grade loose leaf teas, most of which are Fairtrade, organic and direct sourced.

Additionally, over nearly a quarter of a century we have honed and perfected our traditional chai recipes, such as Yogi Yogi Chai (our much-loved masala chai recipe and house speciality), Desi Chai, Bombay Lemongrass Chai and more, all of which are blended in-house. We have also invented many of our own tea and herbal recipes, including Faeries Blood, Honey Spiced Tea, Mulled Wine Tea and many others.

From our beginnings in 2000 – when our owner, Martin, having Czech roots himself, opened a teahouse inspired by the “cajovnas” of Prague – to the present day with our burgeoning online business, we continue to seek out excellence and high ethical standards in our teas and recipe ingredients. The knowledge and expertees that we have gained over all these years shine through in the sheer joy of a top quality cuppa.

We invite you to join us on our tea journey!

Working with our growers.

We stay in regular contact with our partner farmers from India to Japan, making sure we pay above market value for the best quality tea and spice direct from its source. 

Farmed without the use of chemical fertilizers, the bulk of the ingredients we use are lab tested organic. this means that our chai is fully natural, medicinal and authentic.

Bringing it home

Due to this direct connection to our suppliers, we are able to cut out third party distributors. This allows us to buy from the growers at a fair price and simultaneously create an ethical, affordable, high quality product.
