What is CTM? Why is Chatra hand cracked brand new?

Brief summary first.

CTM = Captivating Tea Muse, a brand of Chatra's freshman tea, Focus, a contemporary specialty tea. The first store opened at Central Park (Parkside Market, LG) and was primarily located in the CBD area.

The concept is "tea, not just a drink, but an experience." The tone of the shop-design is clearly separate from the chatra.

The "why" hand shatra needs CTM.

1. Separate the segments clearly

Chatra = Mass / Thai Textbook, CTM = Premium Specialty to regroup and enhance the experience without overlapping the original brand image.

2. Answer the trend of growing tea

Consumers drink tea more often and want to try new flavors, so CTM is used as an "experimental stage and show" in addition to Thai tea.

3. Create a more frequent consumption (frequency)

Clearly, the management wanted people to "drink tea more often," CTM made a variety of menus, brewed fresh glasses per glass, and developed a membership / point system to treat customers.

CTM "Catch Who?"

Cities / working-students who like minimalist cafes want a premium but accessible tea (starting around 70-75 baht compared to a tea that starts ~ 45).

Gen Z-Millennials Who Want to Try New Tea: Aulong Tea / Green Tea / Black Tea with over 40 fruit / topping mixes from 12 different tea leaf bases.

How is it different from "Chatra"?

Price Position & Image: CTM slightly taller-medium in exchange for tea seeds / fresh-brewed bars / contemporary shop design, and the shatra is stable, tree-mass.

Menu & Experience: CTM Highlights Rare T-Blend Specialties / Fresh Fruits / Multiple Signature Menus, Bigger Space with Seats (500.m).

Key Takeaways (Retel Line)

This is a "brother-brother" Brand Architecture: Brother (Shatra) maintains Mass & legacy, Younger (CTM) opens a premium-experiment area → expands the market without overlapping.

Product Ladder & Price Ladder: There is a price ladder from 45 → 70 / 75 + to Upzel Frequency / Basket per bill without damaging the main body.

Location & CRM: Select City Location / Shopping Center + Prepare Point System = Clear Retention Play.

If you first enter CTM, where do you start? - Aulong Tea, Green Tea or Black Tea with Fruits? So what's the reason? Tell me. 👇

... Read moreถ้าเพิ่งเห็นคำว่า “CTM” ในห้างหรือในโซเชียลแล้วสงสัยว่า CTM คืออะไร สรุปแบบอ่านจบแล้วเข้าใจเลยคือ CTM ย่อมาจาก Captivating Tea Muse เป็นแบรนด์ชาน้องใหม่ที่ชาตรามือทำออกมาเพื่อเล่น “อีกบทบาท” ที่ต่างจากภาพชาไทยต้นตำรับค่ะ สิ่งที่ทำให้ CTM ถูกพูดถึงคือเขาตั้งใจทำให้เป็นชาพรีเมียม-ร่วมสมัยมากขึ้น ตั้งแต่ป้ายไฟชื่อแบรนด์ CTM ไปจนถึงดีไซน์ร้านที่ดูมินิมอล/โมเดิร์นกว่า พอเดินเข้าไปจะรู้สึกว่าโทนร้านและบรรยากาศตั้งใจให้เป็น “คาเฟ่ชา” ที่นั่งสบาย ไม่ใช่แค่แวะซื้อชาไทยแก้วนึงแล้วไปต่อ ในมุมคนหาข้อมูลจากกูเกิล คำถามยอดฮิตมักจะตามมาว่า “แล้วต่างจากชาตรามือยังไง?” จากที่เห็นภาพรวมและคอนเซ็ปต์ของเขา จุดต่างหลัก ๆ มี 3 เรื่อง 1) ระดับราคาและประสบการณ์: CTM ราคาเริ่มประมาณ 70–75 บาท (สูงกว่าชาตรามือที่หลายคนคุ้นเคย) แต่แลกกับความรู้สึกพรีเมียมขึ้น ทั้งร้านใหญ่ขึ้น มีที่นั่ง และงานบริการหน้าบาร์ที่เห็นการชงมากขึ้น 2) เมนูชาเน้นสเปเชียลตี้: CTM จะดันชาใบหลายแนว เช่น ชาอู่หลง ชาเขียว ชาดำ และเอาไปเบลนด์กับผลไม้/ท็อปปิงให้เลือกเยอะ เหมาะกับคนที่ชอบลองรสใหม่ ๆ มากกว่าการยึดติดกับ “ชาไทยแบบเดิม” 3) ทำเลและกลุ่มลูกค้า: CTM มักเลือกทำเลในย่านเมือง/ศูนย์การค้าใหญ่ ๆ (โทน CBD) กลุ่มเป้าหมายเลยเป็นคนทำงาน นักศึกษา หรือคนที่ชอบคาเฟ่สไตล์ใหม่ ๆ ที่อยากได้ชาอร่อยแบบยกระดับ แต่ยังอยู่ในราคาที่เอื้อมถึง อีกอย่างที่สังเกตได้จากภาพบรรยากาศคือคนต่อคิวค่อนข้างเยอะ พนักงานชงด้วยอุปกรณ์ทันสมัย มีโซนโชว์ใบชา/ภาชนะใส่ใบชาให้เห็นชัด ๆ ทำให้ “การสั่งชา” กลายเป็นประสบการณ์มากกว่าซื้อเครื่องดื่มเร็ว ๆ ถ้าคุณกำลังจะลอง CTM ครั้งแรก แนะนำวิธีเลือกง่าย ๆ จากสไตล์ตัวเอง: ถ้าชอบหอมละมุนเริ่มที่ชาอู่หลง ถ้าชอบสดชื่นเลือกชาเขียวผสมผลไม้ และถ้าชอบเข้มมีมิติให้ลองชาดำเบลนด์ แล้วค่อยขยับไปเมนูซิกเนเจอร์ทีหลัง จะสนุกกับการค้นหารสที่ใช่มากขึ้น
