😠 I love tea but hate shopping in store here. The workers don't respect your personal space. I have autism and will say I want to be left alone but they hover and continue to bother me. The store is overwhelming as is and it's only worse with overly heedful staff. I wish T2 were more accommodating. People often mention staff, shop,

    Went in there today. It's a beautiful shop with beautiful China cups, teapots, flasks, and more. The girl who talked with me was very helpful and very nice. It's on Queen Street and is well signed both above the store and on the window. It was nice just browsing, but l didn't get anything because there was so much and so lm going to go back with my niece so she can choose by herself.

    What a lovely little shop. I visited it 4 years ago, and it was bigger with different tea tasting options, and the loose leaves on display. It's still nice to visit and get some reasonably priced teas. Parking is a nightmare of course, but not the fault of the shop. The lady was very friendly and helpful

    There was amazing service and great staff and very amazing products, although there was quite an obnoxious customer who didn’t specify she had autism and tried to blame the poor staff on her mistake of not telling them that she needed to be left alone

    Just been there around an hour ago.....the woman is a rasist. Confirmed. I and my partner waiting there for a long time just for pay, the cashier passed us twice said nothing and ignore us. Sooooo rude woman......

    Kia Ora... It was a small colourful shop with a beautiful and exotic tea set collection. We have a wide range of selection to choose from I had got a coffee mug which was worth the price. They have tea pots, various flavored tea, designer cups, mugs, unique flasks, spoons and cups and saucer. Loved the collection and the interior of the shop.

    Friendly staff. Spotless store. However, I prefer ordering online, as it seems that any time I go in to the store, they are out of Singapore Breakfast! So good....

    Best range of flavorous tea. Not the cheapest option, but they often have deals and discounts. I would totally recommend pop up in person for a sip tasting or ordering online your favourite ones

    Good service and helpful staff; Had samples out to taste with signs that stated particular ingredients (for example soy, milk, honey) which was very helpful and when I asked to taste a particular tea the staff brewed it for me!

    All the teacup sets are absolutely beautiful. Had my eye on a particular set of cups for a gift but ended up being waaaay too expensive. However, the set I got on sale was beautiful too ☺️

    Products were allgood! But the male cashiers customer service could have improved… There was a long queue and he just kept looking at the pc screen and didn’t even bother to ask us until we asked… He could’ve been more initiative.
