T2 is an Australian tea brand, they have many shops around the UK and I was interested to try this one on Regent Street, London after a good experience with their Birmingham Bullring store - I do feel their Birmingham location is much better, but this isn't a bad alternative.
They had a nice selection of flavoured and cool concept teas, mainly centred around their matcha ranges. The prices were a little high and are mainly aimed at gifts, such as their gift sets and they didn't have as many reduced / sale prices as the Birmingham store, but the teas you can have them make for you and take with you are much more affordable.
They did have a nice number of samples on the counter, but I do think they should have had at least one iced/cold sample like the Birmingham branch, especially as the store is on an outdoor shopping street and it was a rare hot, sunny day in London.
The store has two counters which are strange - I ended up going behind it as it wasn't cornered off or too clear until I paused "Wait, where am I?", the staff member who seemed friendly enough (but iffy on product knowledge) just smiled.
3* - Pretty cool store but for a high-end tea brand you'd expect better product knowledge and staff members able to answer more questions. read more
