Our T2 Story
We’re about reinventing and reimagining the humble tea leaf, and sharing our teas with anyone who’ll listen. In 1996, our first store opened in Fitzroy, Melbourne. A tea revolution began. Imagine pink ceilings, towering displays of tea and teawares, and Chinese newspaper covering the walls. Tea fuelled our conversations with all kinds of people; it was a chance to learn about them, and in turn tell the something about ourselves.
