is the afternoon activity creating garden in the jar, this will help
our body and mind to relax and concentrate.
When we ask about tea consumption trend in our
country, Mr. Surat said that the trend is growing, especially now
people are more concern about their health, so there are more
interest in tea. Currently, some tea houses develop and modernize
themselves for younger generation, however, it would be dif-
ficult to erase elderly beverage image. But Cha-Panya would like
to make announcement that tea serving here is for everyone,
you can tell from the store concept, furniture, power socket for
mobile devices, which suits new generation life style. There are
both original tea and blended tea, which contain wide range of
taste and smell. Sour and sweet taste with small scent of flower
may suit ladies and kids because they are easy to drink. The store
plans to gather even more variety of tea and dessert to urge cus-
tomer’s taste bud.
If your life is full with rush, mess, and you wish for
peaceful moment with yourself. You may drop by at Cha-Panya,
enjoy a cup of tea from midday until 8 PM. Besides the mental
benefit, tea also provide physical benefit to your body too.

Before Surat started to work here, he was already a tea
person since he was a kid because he felt that tea is gentle, it is
beverage that has more ability to calm a person more than other
beverage. Cha-Panya was found under the concept of Chinese
contemporary. The store contains wide range of tea such as
Chinese tea from Taiwan and Fujian, green tea, U-Long tea,
fermented tea, Pu-Erh tea, blended tea like rose tea, black sticky
rice tea, cinnamon tea, ginger tea, lemongrass tea, etc. “Hot tea
is served in teapot set, the set contains sandglass, filter, non-slip-
pery wooden tray, and hot water thermos, and ice tea is served
in glass. For those who would like to know varieties of tea, we
provide tester and sample for smell, including description such
as its origin, properties, and taste of tea will be explained by
staff”. The dessert is also served here as well, but they are not as
sweet, because the sweet will overcome taste of tea itself.
Another signature of this place that we cannot miss
out is meditation room. The room was arranged for those who
seek for Dharma practice, there are also library corner which
contains Dharma books and life happiness books for customer
to read while enjoy their tea. Lately, they offer small conference
room at the back that can be held conference up to 15 person.
This tea house also provide workshop related on mediation, for
example, “petal of lotus folding workshop” to see the reflection Special thanks for the information provided by
Mr. Surat Jaitrong : Cha-Panya
