Loose leaf tea specialist T2 is set to open a brand new store on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street next month.
The 61 square metre store is T2’s first store in Scotland and is due to open on Saturday May 6.
With over 200 bold and exciting loose-leaf teas sitting alongside striking ranges of tea-ware and accessories, T2 is known for its exciting and thoroughly modern take on the nation's favourite drink.
Priding themselves on doing tea differently, the expert team will be on hand to help customers discover and explore an exciting new world of tea.
Tasting, smelling and blending is not only okay, it’s openly encouraged.
Truly living by this ethos, the Aussie loose-leaf specialist will be celebrating the exciting new store opening with the unveiling of a bespoke “tea fountain” installation.
Set to be an undoubtedly immersive experience, the fountain is inspired by Glasgow’s vibrant arts scene. It will be a multi-sensory offering, encouraging customers to smell the fragrant aromas of classic T2 blends, as they flow and cascade down the installation’s body of beautiful T2 tea-ware.
As well as T2’s bespoke fountain, Glasgow store houses a huge ‘smelling’ table complete with more than 200 varieties and blends of tea from around the world, as well as a tastings bar.
T2 encourage customers to discover a new world of tea through their tastings bar where they are invited to sample and learn how to brew any of the tea varieties; from white tea with rose petals to black tea with caramel pieces.
Jane Hoban, T2 Global Marketing Director added: “The UK market is very important for us as a brand emerging globally. We are hugely excited to bring our growing tea family to Glasgow and to be opening alongside such a great high end and international brand mix.”
This latest store addition will be the loose leaf tea brand’s first Scottish outlet and highlights the brand’s expansion across the UK, targeting new clientele.
