T2 Tea

I have always had awesome service from the staff working at this T2 store! And they always include a few yummy samples of teas that are coming out soon, or things they think you will like based on what you have purchased.

It certainly is nice to walk into T2 Tea and be surrounded by delictable teas and quaint cups and tea sets. The free tea tasting is a great way to sample something new and different. Service is excellent.
You can find some pure teas without flavours but you have to be sure to check the label, I find most of the teas have the flavours in them. I purchased the chamomile tea in the tea bags and it tasted strange, I think it might be the bags they use.
It is expensive and you can find some better places online of Australian made teas.
I do love their big tea cups though.
T2 Tea makes a great stop for Christmas shopping.

T2 Teas is a great place to get your tea… or find a gift for someone :)
They have a ridiculous number of teas to choose from which come in cute & colourful little boxes. the staff seem to always know a lot about the teas and what’s in them. which is helpful. And I love that they always have sample tea out to share… it’s a nice little touch.
My favourite tea is the fruitalicious — which makes an amazing cold ice tea… we have one of T2’s cold tea makers — which is a huge hit in our household! It’s better than drinking sugary cordials or soft drinks. and makes a refreshing change from the same old taste!
My only problem with T2 is the price… my 100g fruitalicious tea is around $ 16 I think. which I feel is a little expensive for not even ¹⁄₃ box full of tea. However like I said… it does make a refreshing ice tea and I like the healthier option to soft drinks and cordials in my house…

I have been a huge lover of tea for a long time. Coming from a British family, I think it is almost a crime not to be. Me and my best friend are obsessed, we go to each others houses just to try the new tea bags we have purchased. I have tried all sorts and other than peppermint tea (peppermint should only be for teeth cleaning or chewing gum) I love any kind.
When this place popped up in Perth I was beside myself when walking in. This wonderful shop filled with every single tea flavour ever available. From tea bags to tea leaves, from hot to cold. Anything and everything. I walked round for a good half an hour just trying to take in what I was actually looking at. Had all my dreams come true?
I tried a free sample of one of the cold teas left out for customers, it was so delicious that I instantly picked up the box ready to purchase. I picked a few different tea bags, and went on my merry way.
I invited my friend for a tea date and when I pulled out these amazing new flavours let just say she was very happy with me. I told her about the store, and she to fell in love.
The one tiny let down for me was the fact it is a bit too modern. Perhaps that is a little odd but when I think of tea I think of Alice in Wonderland, perhaps it wanted to get away from that cliché, but I like tea for its cosy grandma style, not this new age nonsense.

You may have noticed that in the past couple of years, tea drinking has emerged as a a popular past time for women of all ages. No longer is it the unfashionable drink of choice for the elderly or thumpy house wives, it’s a symbol of good taste and a form of social capital. I kid you not. T2 definitely played a large hand in this tea-​drinking trend, and someone somewhere has made an awful lot of money off packaging tea leaves into a trendy, minimalistic little box and slapped on a hefty price tag. I have friends who boast about their collection of teas from this place, attempting to out-​do one another with boxes of the stuff piled high in their pantries. Serious drinkers will buy an actual cannister though, FYI.
I’ve been to T2 all over Australia, and find my experience always the same. It’s consistently pleasant to visit the store, with all the different flavours organised quite well so you’ll more often than not find what you’re after without assistance. Visitors to the store can peruse the teas on display at the front table, arranged in little dishes for you to smell. They always have a tea of the day to sample too.
Personally, I adore their chocolate chip chai, gorgeous geisha (a strawberry/​vanilla flavoured green tea which smells like berries), yerbe marte and turkish apple flavours. Their tea accessories are quite expensive and you could probably get them for cheaper from Coles or Woolworths.
A word of warning though — don’t get them to wrap any gift. I made this mistake once and the wrapping was positively horrendous, featuring used newspaper, orange cellophane and twine. Ugh.

If i wasn’t already a T2 lover I would have walked out of this store and not bought a thing from there, or ever again. The service was rubbish. All the tea’s out to try were empty and nobody offered any samples to us. I bought my fav (Perth breakfast) and left. At the counter, they quickly shoved my tea in a bag and I guess they put a sample in there. It is a lemon grass tea from Peru that says ‘wash leaves’ I have no idea what to do with it. I guess I will throw it away.
It’s called Customer service, people. It doesn’t matter how good your product is you still need to provide it. My online shopping experience was waaaaayyy better. My store experience was rubbish: (Do better people, please: (

I’ve teetered into several T2 stores in Sydney and they’ve done a good job in remaining consistent with beautiful presentation and quality product constantly being refreshed on the shelves, but some of the stores over east look way too crammed, which might have something to do with the high price of commercial real over there.
The T2 store in the Perth CBD is much more spacious, so when you’re walking around ogling all the gorgeous crockery and pottery on offer, you don’t feel paranoid about knocking something over and possibly breaking it.
I was greeted by the lovely Elle and she talked about the product on the store shelves as though she was really loving working there. And why wouldn’t she? Colour abounds in this place and there’s not a dull corner. The gift sets of tea cup and saucer come in a broad variety of floral prints with prices ranging from $ 22 a set to $ 40 (for the more decadently gold-​gilded).
What I loved about my experience here is the abundant taste testing you can have of the various teas. And the staff aren’t afraid to mix things up, blending exotic flavours together like Turkish Cherry and Turkish Apple, throwing in generous amounts of pomegranate and turning their magic into an innovative ice tea. I got the attendant to write the mocktail recipe down so as to take home and try with a dash of voddie. Now that’s an interesting summer cocktail!
Bottoms up. With your little pinkie in the air, of course.

If the Mad Hatter was not a part of Alice’s imagination and actually in the real world, he would come to T2 to shop for all his tea party needs!
T2 is an actual heaven for tea drinkers, it offers any type of tea possible and even allows little bowls to sniff and smell and a table of tasters to try out. It is very easy to be tempted into buying all different teas for various occasions and stocking up your pantry with just tea.
They offer various solutions to your tea problems, such as a takeaway cup with an ‘infuser’ so you can have your beautiful blends on the run and ‘infusers’ for tea cups and pots at home! They also have a stunning range of teapot and teacup selections which come in so many variations and make the perfect presents for friends or yourself!
The only issue I’ve ever had with T2 is that it is not clear on its fairtrade relations. As a fairtrade nut I would like to know exactly where they are standing and that the workers bringing us this wonderful tea are being paid fairly.
The store is delightful though so definitely go take a peek and be enticed into the world of tea!

I don’t drink coffee. No matter how hard I try I just can’t do it — with milk, without milk, gourmet, plied with suger, mixed with caramel and cinnamon — I’ve tried it all, but to me it just tastes like earwax. I am a dyed-​in-​the-​wool tea junkie, and have been ever since my Mam put a sweet milky brew of Lyons Irish tea in my beaker when I was three.
Until now I felt left out when people went wild with excitement over the latest brand of coffee beans they just found in some speciality shop. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine tea lovers would ever be able to partake in the madness… until I happened upon T2 speciality tea shop!
Oh.My.God.
It is tea heaven, a tea-lover’s haven. Had Willy Wonka been a diabetic and instead put his energy into tea, this shop is what he would have come up with. I could spend hours at their taster table, trying all the different types of hot and cold teas they have come up with. It’s so hard to pick just one to take home — Turkish Apple, Turkish Cherry, Red Green Vanilla, even the Detox tea tastes amazing (how rare is that?!).
The boxes may seem a tad expensive — in and around $ 10-​$ 15, but when you consider that each box makes 15 brews it’s not too bad — you would pay a minimum of $ 4 to get just a cup of this good stuff in a café.
And did I mention the cups and pots? They come in just as many shapes, sizes and colours as there are varieties of teas in T2. Can you tell how much I heart this place yet?

Tea, the glorious lifeblood of conversation and rainy afternoons with a good book. As I stumbled across T2 on Hay Street on a lovely muggy Sunday afternoon, the scent of tea leaves sent my brain into overdrive. I ran in and shouted, «I want your best brew!» And that was it. I sold my soul to the lady at the tea shop.
Every different flavour of tea you could possibly imagine, and then some. And not just tea. Oh no, tea pots and teacups and travel mugs and anything tea related that you could imagine. Not only that, but you can shop on line from the comfort of your own home!
Not a tea aficionado? You will be. And with instructional videos on their website of how to brew your tea, you will be an expert in no time.
The prices are steep (pun intended) but it’s definitely worth that taste you can only get from T2 Tea.
