We have a diverse selection of shops here in the Richmond but Tal-y-Tara (6439 California Street) is in a class of its own, serving up tea and crumpets amidst an assortment of equestrian accessories. You may have noticed the large horse statue that stands on the sidewalk when it’s open.

Townhog.com, a discount site, is offering a $14 special on a classic English Tea service at Tal-y-Tara for two:

Step inside the warm and inviting shop complete with an equestrian store in the front and English tea room in the back. Browse through their selection of teapots, teacups, tea cozies and other whimsical tea-inspired gifts. Relax in an outdoor secret garden and enjoy your cup of tea with their Motorloaf tea sandwiches served on semi-sweet dark bread, a secret family recipe, with varieties like cream cheese and cucumber, egg salad and capers, smoked turkey with watercress and so much more! Lastly, enjoy their award-winning scones, served with Devonshire cream and jam, which are deliciously moist and sweet. And don’t forget English trifle for dessert.

You’ll feel as though you have escaped to the English countryside where they know exactly what it takes to make a proper cup of tea! With over 50 varieties of teas and a selection of savory and sweet treats, there is plenty to choose from at Tal-y-Tara.

There’s only 30 hours left on this offer; 189 have already been sold (wow, who knew tea was so popular?!?!). Be sure to work on that fake British accent before you go. It can make tea time so much more entertaining…

Thanks to RichmondSFBlog reader Talia for the tip.
