T2

Beautiful and refreshing, a pleasant fruity fragrance and a smooth, almost minty aftertaste.
Warming in winter but also light enough to be enjoyed in summer. Although i wouldnt drink it daily, it is definately a tea worth having on my shelf.

Finished this off via cold brews full of juicy berry flavours! Happy happy tea. Me likey. But I’ve got one too many flavoured blacks to get through so I probably won’t restock this for a while…

I hadn’t opened this tin for a while, so yesterday morning I was pleasantly surprised to open it and find that I’m a lot closer to another sipdown here than I thought! Hot damn, I may actually get these unopened boxes opened before the year’s out, after all…

I say yesterday morning because I cold brewed this in the fridge overnight and drank it today. So tasty! I really love this, still! I’ve refilled the tea bottle for another overnight cold brew but I may be wasting my time, I forgot that black tea’s more of a one hit wonder than green. Or maybe cold brews are different; it’s been a while since I went cold crazy. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow…

And in the meantime I’m gonna start another cold brew to inch closer to sipdown.

Ahhhhhh my Butiki order is here!!!!!!!!

But I’m way too overwhelmed so I’m just drinking a cold brew I prepared earlier while I add these nineteen teas to my cupboard.

Also I have a cold virus and don’t want my poor senses to affect the deliciousness of what’s to come, BUT I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold out.

Yep, sorted. Splash of milk, no sugar required. A+ brekky blend.

I got a whole bunch of this from my friend in our IRL swap the other week so I figured it was time for me to open the box I bought a few months ago too.

Breakfast tea today! It’s a very sweet and berryful tea (did I just steal that word from my previous review?), I overbrewed slightly but fixed with milk and sugar.

VERY sweet and possibly too much so for a breakfast tea. Maybe I’ll try again with no sugar, just milk. Yes, I will. Good.

Still rating 85 because I like this the most of all T2’s breakfast teas.

An awesomely berryful black tea. Only have a sample of this but I’m going to have to pick up a box, I think this may be my favourite City Breakfast tea!

Mmm, this tea always reminds me of bubblegum – just right for this morning’s cuppa.

I find this to be a decadent tea, definitely a dessert on its own! Sweet and floral, possibly a bit too floral if you only like a hint.

This tea turned a non-tea drinker friend of mine into a believer. It truly tastes like a chilly autumn morning sitting outside of a Melbourne cafe. The sweetness of the vanilla with a smoky body. I like to let mine steep for at least 3 minutes and drink with a splash of milk. Delish!

This tea is amazing for an upset tummy or even a headache. It has a beautiful flavour, peppermint with the licorice (which I tend to hate) is perfect and it has a very cool, sweet aftertaste.

A sweet start to the morning – have to drink quickly or it becomes bitter.

Very refreshing as both hot and cold. I use it as an iced tea in place of my morning juice, very refreshing.

I do love a good tisane in the morning. This is such a refreshing brew, and makes a great way to start the day! It’s also delicious as an iced tea – add fresh apple to soak up the flavours. Yum!

This is a multipurpose comfort tea for me – today it’s at work. I love that I can brew a cup hot, get distracted, forget about it, and still enjoy it cold later, unlike many teas.

Very savory fragrance although less so on taste. Very lovely drink would probably be great with a meal although I drank it alone.

This tea is excellent.

I’ve gotten fanatical about jasmine teas (not reflected in reviews because lately I’ve been reviewing teas on paper scraps, but they will be on Steepster later), and what I’ve noticed is that some lack the freshness of taste that really makes a good jasmine tea delicious, which is a real shame. This tea does not. It’s fresh, heady, and makes a thoroughly good iced tea. It’s almost a bit perfume-y, but that gives the impression that it’s fake tasting or excessively strong, which is isn’t. I don’t know how they’ve achieved this strength of jasmine flavour without making it taste perfume-y in the negative sense. It’s balanced very well. It’s the best jasmine I’ve had, and I’m now so glad that I have a big pack of it in this hot weather.

I have something like eight or ten more jasmine teas on the way to me from Upton Tea Imports, and another bag that I got from a critically praised tea shop in Sydney, so my mind might change, but at the moment, this is the best to me. It’s just so damned good, and when mixed with a little freshly squeezed orange juice makes an iced tea to die for.

I drank like a litre of this out of a mixing bowl from the freezer today, after having drank a giant three-cup mug of it earlier. I’m not even ashamed of those facts.

I was reluctant to buy this and the other (Melbourne Breakfast) T2 tea that I got, because T2 doesn’t offer sample sizes, and I didn’t think buying full-sized boxes of chain store tea would work out well, but in this case, my reservations have been really unfounded.

When I’ve been buying/ordering tea lately and there’s been so many jasmines, a tiny part of me has thought, “Do you really need to try more jasmines? Can’t you have too much jasmine?” This tea has simplified the answer: NO!
