T2 Tea

T2 Tea was founded in 1996 by Maryanne Shearer, who opened the first store in the vibrant Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. The brand’s mission was to modernize the tea experience, moving away from traditional formalities to embrace a world of bold flavors, exotic blends, and striking retail design. T2 is known for its immersive store environments, featuring signature black interiors and floor-to-ceiling displays of colorful tea boxes. They offer an extensive range of loose-leaf teas and tisanes sourced from around the globe, alongside beautiful teaware and brewing accessories. T2’s approach encourages experimentation and discovery, inviting customers to smell and taste different varieties. As a certified B Corp, T2 is committed to sustainability and ethical sourcing, ensuring that their growth benefits both people and the planet. From classic Earl Grey to adventurous fruit infusions, T2 continues to push the boundaries of what tea can be, making it an essential part of the modern Melbourne lifestyle and beyond.
