T2

The perfect place for tea-lovers or gift buying for tea fanatics. I really enjoy going into this store, the staff are always really friendly and offer to help in any way they can. There are always a lot of things to try out and I have never left here empty handed. The loose leaf tea is so good and mostly available in handy teabags too if you aren't into diffusing your hot cuppa. The mugs and teapots are in lovely designs..beautiful gifts!

You can visit any T2 store and find a staff that is attentive. But when you go to this T2 store, you find a staff that is more than just genuinely attentive but also friendly! The staff went the extra mile to prepare the sample for the new chocolate range and I was so impressed with that (and the fact that the chocolate is very unique) that I bought three boxes at once! And as always, the free tea sample just adds more value to the already awesome store.

This is one of my favourite shops at Bondi Junction. I love the selection of teas they have here and how knowledgeable the staff are about tea of all kinds. They sell some cute teapots, tea cups and saucers, and enough "tea ware" and paraphernalia to have a tea-lover like me drooling all over the shop. The free tea samples are a pretty nice touch, and you get to have a taste of different types and blends that you might not ever try usually. I was introduced to the White Rose and Licorice Legs this way a while ago, and have never looked back. The service is lovely friendly and helpful, but not to pushy or full-on and there are really extensive explanations of each type of tea which is helpful. A great place to shop for gifts for the tea-lover or the person who has everything.

Who would have thought you could create a whole store just for teas, and not only that, make it hip, cool and just a bit unique?! T2 is all these things and more, it has a funky style about it that takes something as simple as selling tea and tea related products and makes visiting the store an experience not just point of sale.
From the tasting trays to the small bowls filled with wonderfully aromatic teas beautifully displayed with detailed descriptions of their contents, the experience is a wonder for the senses.

They have all the old favours like mint, green and earl grey mixed with some more modern or unique styles such as riotous rose or Turkish apple and cinnamon so you can really let loose!

It might be more expensive than your Lipton or Twinnings but the huge variety, quality and sublime taste are well worth the extra pennies!
