T2, Tea Like No Other - SM Aura Premier Branch Launch

How do you enjoy your tea? Hot, cold, with milk and sinkers, bagged or loose? I like mine fresh, brewed, both hot and cold, and I'm now appreciating loose leaf tea. I've recently discovered a tea brand that brings back the art of drinking tea, T2. There's no other tea brand out there, like T2. T2 is the newest brand launched by John Michael Hilton of Visum Ventures & Leaf Beverages PH. I've had the pleasure to be present during the Leaf Beverages media launch at the SM Aura Premier.

Taste testing T2's selection of loose leaf teas

French Earl Grey, Melbourne Breakfast, Green Rose, and Fruitalicious

Made NEVER ENOUGH Cocktail Drink

Love its light and fruity taste with a punch in the end of each gulp.

My 18-year old joined the fun in mixing his own cocktail!

T2 humbly started in Melbourne, Australia and has taken the traditional art of tea, turned it on its head, and taken it to the world. The brand has been around for 20 years and with over 100 stores worldwide including the Philippines. They are here to influence the way Filipinos enjoy their cup of teas.

Today, T2 has four branches already: SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, The Podium and SM Aura Premier. Now we could all have an elegant High Tea experience with unlimited T2 Tea selection. Choose from Bronze, Silver, and Gold set where you could enjoy your T2 tea served with sandwiches and snacks from Shangri-La The Fort. You could add a glass of wine or cocktail and end the indulgent experience with gold leaf ice cream. This is happening only between November 19 -December 19, 2021 only. Perfect for that much-needed me-time or long overdue catch-up with your friends.

We were served select freshly brewed loose tea leaves of T2 Teas during the launch. We were even made to mix our own Never Enough cocktail drink, which when you taste, you'd definitely say one glass is Never Enough!

The experience of having T2 Teas? Think of Bridgerton high tea time with your amigas while talking about the latest and exciting news around town. That's the feeling I get with every sip of T2 teas. In this day and age where milk teas and different versions of iced teas have dominated the tea market especially among the millennials and GenZs, it's refreshing to see T2 reinventing the humble tea leaf. Every sip takes you back to the traditional beginnings of tea.

T2 is not only about their teas, but it's educating us about rich history of Tea culture and letting us experience it firsthand. Their kiosk looks chic yet classy. But don't get intimidated because these their teas come with friendly prices. There are 28 varieties of loose leaf tea packed in boxes or tins. Another thing I love about it is their luxe tea wares! They have teapots with strainers and cups with saucers. Imagine tea + teawares, gives you a T2 Lifestyle! I'm sure it will make it to the pages of Lady Whistledown's newsletter!

T2 Tea + Tea wares = T2 Lifestyle

Experience tea like to other with T2! Think different, drink different. Have a taste of history, culture, and class with every sip. Thank you for bringing the rich culture of traditional tea drinking here in the Philippines!
