Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Rooms in Stratford-upon-Avon needed to replace their tired, mismatched teapots with something more vibrant and durable to match their new decor. They chose the Forlife Stump Teapots for their reliability and bright colour options.
"Our customers immediately noticed the new teapots. They look so smart and professional on the table, and our staff love how easy they are to clean. The best part is the attached lid; no more dropping them during a busy service!"
David Chen – Manager
After switching, the tea rooms saw a significant reduction in breakages and reported that the improved presentation contributed to a 10% increase in speciality tea sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the teapot and infuser a good wash with warm, soapy water.
- Ensure the stainless steel lid is properly attached to the handle for safe pouring.
- Check that the infuser basket sits snugly inside the pot.
Keeping It Going
- The ceramic pot and stainless steel parts are all dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To avoid staining, rinse the pot and infuser shortly after use, especially with strong black teas.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can damage the glaze.
- Regularly check the rim for any chips to ensure it remains safe for service.

Ever wonder what makes the tea from this pot so good? It's all down to the included stainless steel basket infuser. Unlike a small tea ball that squashes the leaves, this deep, wide basket gives loose tea leaves plenty of room to unfurl and release their full flavour. Think of it like giving the leaves a comfy swimming pool instead of a tiny paddling pool!
The best part is the little handle. It allows you to lift the whole basket out the second your tea is brewed to perfection. This stops the tea from 'stewing' and becoming bitter—a common problem with teabags or infusers left in the pot. It gives you, or your staff, complete control over the brew, ensuring a consistently delicious cup every single time. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to the final taste.

- Boutique Hotels & B&Bs: Ideal for in-room service or breakfast settings, offering guests a premium, memorable tea experience.
