The tin stays. The tea changes.
T2 tins are made to be kept. The idea is simple: buy the tin once, fill it with the tea you love, and when it runs out, refill it rather than replace it. Tins protect tea from light and moisture better than pouches, making them one of the best ways to store tea properly. The refills collection is stocked with the same teas available here, in 250g loose leaf and 60-pack tea bag sizes.
Every format, one collection
T2 tins come in a few distinct formats. Everyday tins are the workhorses of the range, holding 250g of loose leaf or 60 tea bags, built for constant use. Icon Tins are a smaller, more collectible format with a distinctive design, suited to gifting or for anyone who wants to display their tea as much as drink it. Matcha tins are sized for powder and available across the full T2 matcha range, from everyday to ceremonial-grade Horai. And if you already have a favourite T2 loose leaf in mind, the Square Tin Tall gives you a home for it before you commit.
FAQs
What is the difference between T2 Everyday Tins and Icon Tins?
Everyday Tins are the larger, core format, built for high-frequency use at 250g loose leaf or 60-pack tea bags. Icon Tins are a smaller, more decorative option (100g loose leaf or 25-pack tea bags) with a distinctive design, suited to gifting or display.
Can I refill a T2 tin?
Yes, that's the intention. T2 tins are designed to be kept and refilled. The refills collection stocks the same teas in sizes made to fit, so you buy the tin once and just restock the tea when you run out.
Do T2 tins keep tea fresh?
Yes. Tins protect tea from light, air, and moisture, making them one of the best storage options available. For best results, keep your tin in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
Are T2 tins suitable as gifts?
Absolutely. T2 tins make a strong gift, particularly the Icon Tin range. If you're after something ready to give straight away, T2's gift packs include smaller curated tins paired with a selection of teas, designed to be kept long after the tea inside is finished.
Do tins come in both loose leaf and tea bag formats?
Most teas in the tin range are available in both loose leaf and tea bag formats. A few specialty and single-origin teas are available in loose leaf only.
What sizes do T2 tins come in?
Everyday loose leaf tins hold 250g and tea bag tins hold 60 bags. Icon Tins are a smaller format at 100g loose leaf or 25-pack tea bags. Matcha tins come in 30g and 50g sizes. The Square Tin Tall Black is an empty tin sized to hold T2 loose leaf refills.
