Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Branch Bistro in Keswick was struggling with its mismatched collection of ceramic teapots, which were prone to chipping and staining. They needed a uniform and durable alternative that still looked inviting for their popular cream tea service.
"We were constantly having to replace our old pots, which was a hidden cost and a hassle. The Olympia K678 teapots not only look brilliant on the tables, but they've stood up to everything. Our staff find them easy to handle and they come out of the dishwasher sparkling every time. A fantastic bit of kit."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
Since the switch, the bistro has reported a 100% reduction in breakages over nine months, saving money and ensuring their service always looks polished.

Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the teapot a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots on the mirror finish.
- It's ready to go! No assembly or complex setup required.
Keeping It Going
- This teapot is fully dishwasher safe, making daily cleaning quick and easy.
