Loose leaf tea specialists T2 Tea has confirmed it will close its Glasgow Buchanan Street store after bosses made the decision to end all operations in the UK.
The 61 square metre store was T2’s first store in Scotland opened back in May of 2017.
The Australian firm, which was established in Melbourne, Australia in 1996, cited “unprecedented changes over the past few years” as the reason behind the decision.

A statement, issued via social media, said: Dear loyal sippers. Since 2014, we’ve been building our beloved community of tea enthusiasts in the Northern Hemisphere. However, due to unprecedented changes over the past few years, we’ve made the decision to close all operations in the United Kingdom.
“Our stores will remain open until 19 February 2023 and our UK online store until 22 February 2023. For further information, please refer to our FAQs linked in our bio.
“We’d like to thank our dedicated sippers for their support over the years. Warm regards,T2.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
