Tea House, an interactive experience of nature, 
 ritual, and connection. Based inside a custom-designed space in the Australian Forest in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the Tea House is an immersive performance of ritual and connection. This sensory artistic experiment invites you to reimagine everyday rituals through reflection on connection to nature and each other.

Tea itself is one of modern society’s last remaining daily practices. Imbibing these mixtures of fragrant leaves and petals is a powerful starting point for conversations on connection, presence, place, and nature. Our teas are crafted in partnership with local Aboriginal food company Warndu to provide an even closer relationship to this particular land and place.
