Tchai Ovna

At Bonobono, we value craftsmanship and authenticity, qualities that Tchai-Ovna Fine Teas embodies in every blend. Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Tchai-Ovna has spent nearly 25 years perfecting the art of tea. Their collection of over 80 carefully curated loose-leaf teas, including exquisite in-house blends, reflects a deep commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical sourcing.

A Tradition of Excellence
Inspired by the Czech čajovnas—intimate teahouses known for their relaxed atmosphere—Tchai-Ovna was founded in 2000 by Martin. His vision was to create a space where fine tea could be savoured and appreciated. Today, while their roots remain in Glasgow, their reach has expanded globally through their thriving online store, offering a diverse range of teas and signature chai blends.

Signature Chai and Unique Creations
Tchai-Ovna’s chai recipes are the stuff of legend. Their Yogi Yogi Chai, a house favourite, along with Desi Chai and Bombay Lemongrass Chai, are all blended in-house using traditional methods. They’ve also created imaginative herbal infusions like Faeries Blood, Honey Spiced Tea, and Mulled Wine Tea, each offering a unique and enchanting flavour profile.

Sustainability and Fair Trade
Sourcing directly from partner farmers across India, Japan, and beyond, Tchai-Ovna ensures that their teas are both ethical and exceptional. They pay above market rates for their ingredients, supporting fair trade and cutting out third-party distributors to offer both farmers and customers a better deal. Most of their teas are Fairtrade, organic, and lab-tested for purity, guaranteeing a fully natural and medicinal experience in every cup.

Why Bonobono Loves Tchai-Ovna
Tchai-Ovna’s dedication to tradition, innovation, and ethical practices resonates deeply with us. Their teas are more than beverages—they’re a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship. With each sip, you’re not only indulging in a high-quality product but also supporting a more sustainable and fair tea industry.
