As children growing up in Yorkshire, brothers Andy and Martin Fell drank a lot of tea – and for almost a decade, the two have owned a pair of quirky sister teahouses, one in Prague and one in Glasgow. Born in Scotland to a Czech mother and English father, the brothers fused the British tea-drinking tradition with the concept of the Bohemian-style teahouse to create two establishments which are each unique in their own locales for very different reasons.
The first time I walked into A Maze in Tchaiovna, I thought it was just one room. I sat and ordered some tea and read a book and then left. The second time was the same. And the third.
But the fourth time, I was completely taken by surprise when someone walked past me to the bookcase at the back of the room, reached for one of the shelves, and pulled – and the whole thing swung open to reveal a hidden room which I had been completely unaware of until that moment.
See the rest here.
