Tio's Tea House

Tio’s Tea House is warm and inviting with clever lighting that helps set the mood well. The Tea House is a small building located within the Glass Quarter. The building is surrounded by award-winning gardens and man-made rock pools that play host to a number of exotic fish from locations as far away as Desnind. Here, it is difficult to feel anything but relaxed, as Tio prides himself on importing teas and herbs from all over Idalos that promote healing and feelings of euphoria.

Guests to the Tea House can find a quiet spot in the garden or corner of the building to sit alone or with friends. There is also an option to sit in the main lounge where four small tables are framed by a line of couches and comfortable cushions to promote sharing and a real sense of community. Patrons who pay for the shared experience are presented with a selection of teas ranging in strengths and colours, which serves up to four people for five gold.
