Store owner Marion Silver wanted to bring the Manteca, CA community a place where they could sit down, relax and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea, British style.  In England, where Silver was raised, tea is an important daily ritual, so, along with her daughter Heidi and granddaughter Charlene, she opened The Silver Teapot.  At the Silver Teapot, Manteca locals can indulge in the experience of taking tea, or just drop by for lunch. Customers who visit the Silver Teapot will find a traditional British tea room filled with charming décor, soothing music and comfortable chairs. For tea time, choose from several options, including High Tea, on the tea menu, all of which come with endless pots of tea.  The Silver Teapot features more than 40 different types of loose leaf teas, which are also available for purchase in the gift shop.  Between the charming atmosphere and lovely tea menu, The Silver Teapot is the perfect place for Manteca locals to relax and enjoy authentic English scones and fine loose leaf teas, properly steeped in the English tradition. After enjoying tea, customers will want to check out the gift bou“tea”que, which features a variety of tea related items as well as home and garden decor.  Among the items available are tea pots, loose leaf teas, Royal Family memorabilia and more.  In addition, there are also some British sweets and groceries available. If you purchase something from the gift bou“tea”que, trust the AIM Mail Center in Manteca to package and ship your items.  The friendly professionals can even help you compare shipping rates to find the best rate and service for shipping your gifts and souvenirs.
