It is such a beautiful time of year in Julian! The weather is warming up and the flowers are blooming, and a perfect time to come visit us and refresh yourself with some hot or iced tea. We even have hot and iced tea to go, so if your plans do not allow you to have a sit down with us, we can send you along with a wonderful “cuppa” tea, to go. And of course, we will be delighted if you are able to have a sit down with us – check out our offerings on our Tea and Lunch Menus. We do always recommend reservations, just in case, to ensure you are not disappointed. Reservations can be made via email at info@juliantea.com or by phone at (866) 765-0832.
