Take in the world of T2, one of Australia's most popular tea shops, and learn about how tea gets from field to cup, different flavors, and recipes for dishes infused with tea
T2 founder and CEO Maryanne Shearer brings you T2's playful and hip take on tea from leaf to cup: how to pick, process, brew, drink, and share it. Maryanne tells her story of how T2 began and the secrets of success through the sensory theater of her stores, the colorful tea paraphernalia, her penchant for black, and her desire to encourage tea drinkers to take risks and try new flavors. Fascinating facts about the history of tea, how tea it is grown, picked, and processed, and the many different varieties are presented with vibrant and stylish imagery that is distinctively T2. There's how to make the perfect cuppa, when to add milk and sugar, and the bag versus lose leaf debate. Tea ceremonies from around the world are explored, as well as the health benefits of tea and recipes for delicious tea-infused dishes.

Maryanne Shearer and her business partner, Jan O'Connor, opened their first T2 store in 1996. In 2012 Maryanne was awarded Veuve Clicquot's Australian Business Woman of the Year. T2 continues to grow nationally and internationally and employs over 700 people. In 2013 T2 was sold to Unilever, but Maryanne remains as Managing Director and is passionate about global expansion of the brand.
