Hey old friend! Brought my canister of this back to work today for a sweet afternoon treat.

Celeste Alice

Definitely got to try this!
Do you know if it’s still available?

Memily

It was one of the May feature teas—some stores might still have some stocks remaining but it’s gone from the online store already :( do you have a store nearby?

Celeste Alice

I live in England sadly, and they only just opened up a store in Shoreditch London. Which is fantastic, but since they’re new they don’t have any of the older specials.
I’m actually coming over to Brisbane in September though and will definitely be heading to the store there. They might even have some left, but I won’t get my hopes up :)

Memily

Oh man, the London store! That’s very exciting. And Brisbane’s my old stomping ground :D

I could probably swing a sample of this your way!

Celeste Alice

The London store is absolutely beautiful! True to T2’s zen like interior and located in such a trendy spot. I chatted to the ladies in there and they were telling me how well it’s took off over here. Fun fact, tea is one of the only things we don’t tax on from abroad, which means they were able to keep the same Australian prices- just converted to English pounds of course!
That’s very generous for you to offer a sample. I wouldn’t want to trouble you though!

30-0 — I didn’t enjoy this tea and that makes me sad.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
