Tchai-Ovna Closing?
Heard this at work, is it true? Or is it more like a refurb? EDIT: Oh fuck’ sake! We can’t have anything original or different just more bloody Starbucks or extortionate flats!

Reviews Summary
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea was a cherished Glasgow institution celebrated for its vast selection of over 80 teas, delicious vegetarian food, and unique rustic ambiance with a riverside balcony. While many praised the consistently high quality of its products and personal service, some customers experienced issues with order fulfillment and communication. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the establishment fostered deep loyalty, and its closure has been met with widespread disappointment.
"Ordered the Fairies Blood tea on 16th September after trying some at Vogrie. Emailed 3 times to inform you I haven't received my order with no reply as of yet. Very disappointing.
Edited on 3rd October 25.
Dear Martin,
I wholeheartedly appreciate your honesty and integrity with your response. I understand life with business and family shenanigans can be full on and I usually wouldn't be so vocal but I was genuinely frustrated.
You've rectified the situation with grace and I will most definitely purchase tea from you again.
Tea arrived today - brewed as soon as I got in and tasted amazing 🌈
Peace and jam ❤️"

"You can be confident of a consistently high quality product without the shocking price-hikes seen everywhere else these days, knowing that personal care is taken over the product and the customer. I’ve been a customer for over 20 years and, now I’ve moved away from the area, I still look forward to my deliveries and sharing with friends who comment on the the best teas they’ve ever tasted; whichever I’m serving. That’s got to speak volumes…"

"Bought Yogi Chai and Turkish apple. Love the spice of the Chai and the freshness of the apple. Beautifully packaged and arrived quickly. Love the ritual of making the tea. Will definitely be purchasing more"
