This tradition turns over a new leaf, updated with a contemporary spin by one of Australia's leading tea innovators. Leaf Beverages PH brings Australia's pioneering loose leaf tea brand, T2 Tea to the metro along with a new and unique mindset with its tea + teaware = T2 lifestyle proposition.

Leaf Beverages PH is part of Visum Ventures Inc., the same group behind Oh My Greek, Koomi (see more on the refreshing #GuiltlessGoodness of Koomi Natural Drinking Yogurt on my earlier posts, #GuiltlessGoodness Comes to Robinsons Magnolia with Koomi Natural Drining Yogurt and #GuiltlessGoodness: Avo Nice Day with Koomi) and Zig (see more on the innovative healthy offerings of Zig on my previous post, #HealthyMadeHappy: Add A Vibrant Splash of Color to Healthy Dining with Zig Healthy Made Happy) led by its young and dynamic President & CEO, John-Michael Hilton. For the past two years, Visum Ventures Inc. implemented an aggressive roll-out of new branches in the metro despite the challenges of the quarantine experience. And now, Visum Ventures Inc. introduces yet another brand in its growing portfolio of innovative dining concepts with Leaf Beverages PH and T2 Tea. 

At a recent sampling event at SM Aura, John-Michael Hilton and his team presented their newest brand to the media featuring the French Earl Grey, Melbourne Breakfast, Green Rose and Fruitalicious blends of T2 Tea.

Turning Over A New Leaf

Loose leaf tea delivers richer, bolder and deeper flavors, and this becomes apparent from the very first sip. The French Earl Grey by T2 Tea brings medium-bodied notes with its black tea base followed by subtle floral and fruity hints while the Melbourne Breakfast offers more robust flavors rounded out by hints of vanilla. Refreshing and soothing, both the French Earl Grey and Melbourne Breakfast are elegant and refined expressions of tradition in a cup.

The use of premium whole, loose leaf ingredients brings real and natural flavors to the palate often lost in the usual over processed commercial options. It's this complex play on unrestrained flavors that makes each sip special to elevate your tea experience.  

The French Earl Grey and Melbourne Breakfast variants are the perfect start setting the tone for the rest of your day. But there's more...

The playfully inventive alchemy of T2 Tea's master tea specialists are known for their innovative approach to flavor even blending desserts and sweets to exotic fruits and even vegetables. That's why every tin of T2 Tea is a flavorful adventure for both traditional and creative expressions of the tea experience. Take the Green Rose variant of T2 Tea, a vibrant green tea blended with rose petals, tropical fruits and blue cornflower that can be enjoyed both hot or with ice. And my favorite, the Fruitalicious with its medley of cranberries, blueberries, dragon fruit and goji berries for its vibrant yet soothing weave of bright notes to perk you up any time of the day with its all-natural sweetness.

The sampling experience that day was just a the proverbial tip of the iceberg. T2 Tea offers a world of flavorful tea variants ranging from traditional to creatively innovative blends to suit any mood or craving. T2 Tea is more than just tea. It's a lifestyle. T2 Tea also offers a wide selection of teawares in a variety of styles, shapes, colors and sizes conceptualized by their in-house team of tea loving designers. Think of T2 Tea from Leaf Beverages PH as your one-stop shop for tea. And more.

Sweet and savory flavors from Shangri-La at The Fort transformed the tea sampling event to a sumptuous afternoon tea experience...

...with a lavish assortment of tasty bite-sized treats. But Leaf Beverages PH and T2 Tea had even more surprises that day. 

Tea Done Differently

The versatility of tea is highlighted at the event with a fun make-your-own cocktail activity...

...with a blend of fresh fruits and spirits for a liberating libation. Tea, after all, has always been cool for centuries. Aptly called Never Enough, the refreshing concoction combines Raspberry Liqueur, Vanilla Vodka, Peach Schnapps, apple juice, T2 Tea Peach  garnished with half limes, apple fans and fresh raspberries. 

The T2 Tea experience takes traditional tea in step with the times with their wickedly indulgent spin on soft-serve ice cream with layers of deep, soothing notes. Cocktails and soft-serve ice cream, it's tea done differently. And T2 Tea does it everyday weaving the old and new for a unique take on tea time.  

Leaf to Cup at Home

Tea is an intensely personal experience, and enjoying a freshly brewed cup at home becomes one of those much anticipated moments more so in the long days of the new normal. Available in a wide variety of sizes and packaging, bring home a tin from T2 Tea and enjoy a leisurely cup at your own unhurried pace. 

The tea ritual itself is a calming break from the mad rush of our daily routine, from patiently waiting for the brewing process to develop the flavors... 

...to that first pour and sip. These are the moments you look forward to each day in this new normal.
