I like T2. I think that they have good quality teas, good staff and a nice, amiable shopping environment. Good on them for their success. Even better, I discovered recently that their Macquarie Park and Hornsby stores offer high tea. I adore the high tea concept, although I sometimes find that the prices are too high for some pretty sandwiches and tea. However, for a very decent sum under $20, T2 High Tea was a cool experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Bring a friend along, or two. The store also sells mini pastries for those more inclined!
This tea house serves tea, with freshly made pastries within a small cosy corner of the top level of Westfield in Hornsby. Next to the teahouse is the shop with a huge range of tea flavours. A range of iced tea flavours in jugs for you to try before you buy - self serve so you can savour the flavours! Worth a visit if you need some refreshment after shopping.
