Comins X Shatwell Pop Up Tea House

"The first time we came to Shatwell Farm we knew it would be a perfect home for tea.  Nature is close at hand & the space has a calm, creative energy that makes you want to stop & sit a while to take it all in.  When the opportunity was offered to build a Tea House here we knew that the space needed to be built with the creative & collaborative spirit that exists both within tea & at Shatwell.  The energy that you put into making tea, from plucking to brewing, is reflected in the cup & we believe that the same principles exist in building a space for the enjoyment of tea.  At the heart of the Tea House design is simplicity & reuse; building from  materials already owned by those collaborating on the project meant we had to be creative - avoiding that search for 'perfection' that often infuses into projects & lets ego take over.  This approach has given the space personality & life - each corner has its own feeling offering the tea drinker to sit a while and get to know it, making the space feel welcoming rather than austere.  These qualities are at the heart of Comins - our aim has always been to make tea more accessible & with the help of an amazing team at Shatwell we hope to open the wonderful world of tea to many more tea drinkers."
