Few capture that energy quite like illustrator Lauren Martin, whose artwork for T2's New York Breakfast Tea is vibrant, imaginative and full of personality. Known for finding humour in the natural and the everyday, where flowers walk and fruits smile, Lauren transforms everyday objects into joyful visual stories, celebrating curiosity and connection in the familiar moments that make a city feel alive.

As part of Tea to Take You Places, Lauren has created the design for New York Breakfast, capturing the movement, creativity and unmistakable spirit of the city through her own artistic perspective. Her artwork reflects the rhythm of New York, a place where millions of individual stories come together in one unforgettable city.

A graffiti-covered train races through the city, carrying an unlikely cast of passengers. Kettles, teacups, pancakes and playful characters travel together above the carriages, transforming the morning commute into a colourful celebration of New York life. It's a scene that captures the spontaneity and creativity that define the city, where unexpected encounters, different personalities and endless movement come together in one shared journey.

Paired with New York Breakfast Tea, a rich black tea that tastes like hot pancakes, her signature whimsy brings the city's joyful, bustling spirit to every cup.
