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. Tchai-Ovna was a popular venue for music, poetry readings and dramatic performances, and an arts exhibition space. It also hosted musical events, with performances from songwriters, jazz musicians and other music artists. Tchai-Ovna's name was inspired by the teahouses (čajovny) in the Czech Republic.

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. This campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, and the tea house closed in mid 2023. Tchai-Ovna tea products can still be purchased online.
