Meet Jay Cover - Artist Behind Our Limited Edition English Breakfast Tea Set

London isn’t a city you simply visit, it’s a city you throw yourself into. One minute you’re wandering centuries old streets, the next you’re stumbling across a tiny café, a bustling market or a neighbourhood full of stories you’ve never heard before.

That’s exactly the spirit British illustrator Jay Cover captures in his artwork for T2’s English Breakfast Tea.

Known for his expressive hand-drawn illustrations and colourful cast of characters, Jay transforms familiar moments into joyful visual stories. His work celebrates the humour, personality and wonderfully eccentric details that make London unlike anywhere else.

At the heart of Jay’s illustration is one of London’s most iconic symbols: the unmistakable red double-decker bus.

As it winds through the city, it carries lively conversations, quirky characters and unexpected encounters that celebrate Britain’s enduring love of tea. Every stop reveals another glimpse of London life, capturing the humour, warmth and charm that make the city so memorable.

Paired with English Breakfast Tea, the artwork celebrates the rituals that bring people together from morning cups shared at the kitchen table to conversations that continue long after the kettle has boiled.

Tea to Take You Places is an exclusive collection by T2, bringing together eight artists, eight signature teas and eight destinations across the globe.

A celebration of creativity, culture and the rituals that bring places to life, each collaboration captures a destination through the personality of its artist.
