Since we were founded in 1996, every day, cup by cup, we have taken the joy of tea to new heights by doing tea differently. From small beginnings in Fitzroy, Melbourne, we have grown a community of tea lovers through reimagining the humble tea leaf, the ways we brew it, serve it and share it. Today, our innovative (and delicious!) product development continues, combined with ambitious sustainability achievements, a fast-growing online store, a lively distribution centre a welcoming support office in Collingwood and over 70 retail stores across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Our retail experience is known for being immersive and enticing, and the team brings this to life daily. Our stores are beautifully stocked with our iconic products and delicious samples are brewed. Team members are trained to be tea experts who are passionate about the flavours, the stories of each product, and finding teas to match our customers’ different tastes. The support office can be found on a bustling street in Collingwood, Melbourne. Designed to reflect its eclectic surroundings and fueled by endless pots of tea, this is where our unique blends and original designs are developed and where our cross-functional teams collaborate and deliver strategy, operations, technology, brand, e-commerce, wholesale and more. The distribution centre is the operational hub of the business – ensuring our delicious tea, teawares and gifts are distributed to stores as well as fulfilling online orders that are delivered to our customers’ doors. Supported by a team of 30 team members and located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, it is an energetic environment. We are looking for people from all backgrounds and experiences to join us across our stores, the support office and the distribution centre – you will be an important part of the T2 tea-m.

Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory that began in the Mission District of San Francisco. In early 2010, we opened our doors on Valencia Street after sharing our love of small-batch, single-origin chocolate with our friends and family for years. We source all of our cocoa beans ourselves and travel to origin to forge a mutually-beneficial relationship with global partners who grow and ferment cacao. We then roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, refine, and temper small batches of beans, and then mold and package each bar. By sourcing high quality cocoa beans and carefully crafting them, we try to bring out the individual flavors and nuances of each bean. Since then, we have opened more locations in San Francisco and one in Las Vegas. We produce out chocolate in our factory on 16th Street in San Francisco. In addition, our 16th Street factory is also home to our own pastry kitchen, Bloom chocolate salon, and confections kitchen. In addition to making our own chocolate and confections, we stock our shelves with bonbons and confections we make with collaborators we admire. Stop by our 16th Street Factory for a tour, classes on sourcing and making single-origin chocolate, or to see our chocolate makers in action while sipping a cup of hot chocolate. Many thanks, Todd
