What is a "tea house?' Written by nan duval (3/17/2009 7:26 p.m.)

In chapter 22, at the end of the tour of the gardens, led by the general, after going through the hot houses he proposes going to the tea house. I had previously envisioned this as a folly of sorts where the family & guests could drink tea, but after understanding that the pinery was a place to grow pineapples, I was wondering if the tea house was a place to grow camilla sinensis. Can any mavens of L&T enlighten me?
