Being a Tassie original, he eventually returned to Tasmania in January 2019, and settled on a beautiful property overlooking Mr Roland in Paradise, on the Northwest Coast. He is keen to introduce the unique blend of specialty teas and the tranquility of nature to both locals, as well as visitors. 

Heres’ how Peter explains the conception of Paradise Tea House “Since being back in Tassie, I’ve continued to manage my wholesale international business, but I’ve found myself thinking more and more about what I can do locally to introduce tea in a unique way that others could experience and enjoy it.  This, along with my love for nature and an appreciation for natural health and wellness, eventually led me to create the Paradise Tea House – a magical combination of nature’s awesome energy and a beautiful tea vibe”
