A teahouse is a building or a distinct place in an establishment where tea is served. These establishments are common to countries such as China, Vietnam and Japan. A Japanese teahouse is called Chashitsu. Whereas in China, it is called Chaguan. Teahouses feature two distinct purposes. They are ideal places where different people meet for their fair share of either morning or afternoon drink. Secondly, they are social places. Often, you will meet several people freely conversing, chatting and socializing in these houses with or without cups of tea.
