Why cha bar?

For a rejuvenating pause in between discovering books at Oxford Bookstore, we have introduced the cha bar. Tea is an intrinsic part of our life and culture. It is this drink that has been enjoyed by generations as the perfect drink to relax with. Tea is refreshing, healthy and forms the perfect companion to books. Stylish and relaxing, this is a place to unwind with like-minded people or by yourself. You can reflect on things over a hot cup of tea and discover more about yourself in the company of books. Like a modern day literary cafe, it is the perfect space to exchange ideas and views.

Apeejay Tea Group is one of the world’s largest producers of tea. Our operations are directed through AFT Industries Limited (established 1860) and Empire & Singlo Tea Limited (established 1863). All our gardens are ISO 9001-2000 compliant. We are country's third largest tea producer, and we also retail at Harrods. Our in-house experts and tea tasters have been instrumental in conceptualizing and creating this unique bar.

At cha bar we would like to re-introduce the Indian audience to a vast range of teas blended and prepared with a precision that has resulted after exhaustive research of the history of tea, it’s passage through the times and the form it’s taken on now internationally. Here you will see a pioneering attempt at revolutionizing and revitalizing the tea story and bringing it alive in a novel way in contemporary setting. It creates a quality space that will sell tea, the tea drinking experience and tea related products. We plan to have tea-related events in cha bar, like afternoon tea and tea parties. We serve special tea based cocktails and eats for some of our events.

cha bar is not only about Tea but goes beyond that and offers an experience that is built around a central theme - TEA. It moves tea drinking from a dry page in history to a contemporary urban living experience and brings alive the romance of tea and positions it as the chosen beverage of the urban populace. cha bar proposes to educate and revive the consumer to the lost ritual of tea drinking with all its possibilities – not merely as a beverage but a concept. It is about re-introducing tea as a trendy social beverage and to take it out to an urban contemporary space, out of home and dhabas.

Look and feel of the space?

The colours used in this area are natural in keeping with the main theme of a calm, soothing, refreshing, healthy environment that helps you to recharge. All things here are in their original form. The design incorporates the natural textures of each material – wood, steel, glass, aluminium, onyx – all are uncoated and exist in their original beauty and contours. All materials that are used are simple and basic. The atrium effect adds to the effect of the space, raising it to new heights. Lights filtering through the big windows bring in the outdoors. White clear light brightens the interiors. The predominating colour is white – offsetting the brilliant mélange of hues of the bookstore – the active space brimming with energy. cha bar acts, as the perfect foil to the busy world outside – it is a space of perfect calm amidst chaos.
