Su-chang (བསུ་ཆང་) refers to a type of alcoholic drink, known as Chang (ཆང་), which is an important part of Bhutanese culture, especially in the eastern districts.—Suchang is used in the following situation:—When an important visitor or lama, who is invited, arrives for an event or for performing a ritual, the host family or community courteously receive the guest at some distance from the venue. This gesture of receiving a guest is called suwa (བསུ་བ་) and the reception is usually accompanied by an offering of ara drinks. Ara taken for this purpose is the su-chang.
