Tea House

Tea House is an interactive experience of nature, ritual, and connection. 

Set within a custom-designed structure in the Australian Forest at the Adelaide Botanic Garden, this immersive installation invites visitors to slow down and engage their senses. Guided gently by tea-attendants, guests are served specially crafted teas in a shared act of presence and reflection—an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice the trees and plants around them.

This intimate performance reimagines the daily ritual of tea drinking as a portal to connection—with the natural world, with each other, and with ourselves. Tea, one of our modern society’s few enduring daily ritual practices, becomes a quiet conversation about place, presence, and care. Tea blends have been developed in partnership with local Aboriginal food company Warndu, grounding the experience in the flavours and knowledge of the site.

Tea House is conceived by Fallow (Amber Cronin, and Tom Borgas), and produced by Frank Theatre (Britt Plummer). Performed by South Australian performers.

By partnering with Warndu, the project also celebrates First Nations knowledge and deepens connections to Country.

This event is part of Nature Festival 2025.
