T2 Tea

Ok so you know that T2 sell all kinds of tea sets and other tea brewing paraphernalia. Also obvious is the magnitude of different tea laves for sale. Not plain to see, is that T2 get a gold star for customer service.
In Summer they have a few iced jugs of tea jammed with fresh chopped fruits and mint leaves for customers to try. I enquired about the ice teas once and the helpful sales assistant went as far as penning a couple of recipes, with steps for me to make my own iced creations at home.
T2 have the iced tea jugs for sale too. They’re clever inventions because the ice sits in a tube separate form the tea; avoiding your iced concoction from becoming too watered down.

Sweet herbs, exotic herbs, calming and relaxing herbs and antioxidant herbs. T2 has an extensive range of tea’s, tea cups, saucers and pots. T2 is a sensory experience in itself and is the ultimate place for tea fanatics like myself — a place to drink away your sorrows (in a more healthier method).

When I like something, I really like it. And when I don’t, well, I really don’t.
Luckily, I have recently turned my hate of hot flavoured water into a like (and a major one at that!). I had always avoided tea because I incorrectly assumed that I had to drink it the way I drank my coffee which is without milk or sugar. But when an Indian friend of mine offered me a cup of WHITE tea (tea with milk, go figure), I was amazed at how delicious and refreshing it was. Alas, the obsession began.
I had seen these T2 places all over town and admittedly I had even gone inside to have a look at tea cups and saucers. Now, however, I went in for the tea. I must say that I was very surprised at how busy the place was; people debating the merits of white tea over green, others checking the prices under the tea cups, and some customers looking as lost as I probably looked also.
To cut my long story short, I braved the green tea section on my own and ended up purchasing some Buddhas Tear tea. What a tragic name for such fantastic tea…

It was the distinctive black, jagged-​edged shopfront of T2 that first caught my eye. Without knowing what was awaiting me, I ventured inside. And oh wow, what a delightful sight met my eyes. Tea. Tea, tea, tea, as far as the eye could see. Tea, teapots, teacups, tea, tea TEA! If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m rather a large fan of tea. T2 truly is a tea lover’s paradise. There are teas and infusions in hundreds of different flavours here, and tables crowded with sample cupfuls for you to smell. Some of the fruity ones smelled so delicious that I wanted to eat them — I mean, they even have chunks of dried fruit in them. It was all I could do to stop myself. Granted, some of the flavours sound pretty disgusting and way too sickly to be a tea (toffee, strawberries and cream) but the abundance of delicious ones more than makes up for that (lemongrass and ginger, Indian spice, citrus punch… mmm). There are jugfuls of freshly brewed teas, both hot and cold, so you can try little sample cups. And on top of all that, there are some absolutely adorable teapots and teacups. In short, T2 has everything you need to become a tea drinking goddess/​god. It is a little pricey, but as a special tea treat, it’s worth it.
