Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Branch Tearoom, a traditional spot in Harrogate, was struggling with a mismatched collection of ceramic teapots that were prone to chipping and staining. They needed a uniform, durable, and stylish solution to elevate their popular afternoon tea service.
"Our old teapots were a nightmare to keep clean and just looked tired. These Olympia stainless steel ones look the part, pour beautifully, and have genuinely halved our washing-up time. The staff love them, and so do the customers."
Robert Green – Owner
The switch to the Olympia K681 teapots has eliminated breakages entirely and saves the team approximately 30 minutes per day on polishing and scrubbing, allowing them to focus more on customer service during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the teapot a good wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- To ensure tea stays hotter for longer, always pre-warm the pot by swirling a little hot water inside before filling.
- Make sure the hinged lid is properly closed to maximise heat retention during service.
Keeping It Going
- The pot is fully dishwasher safe, but for a streak-free mirror shine, hand-dry with a soft microfibre cloth.
- To tackle stubborn tea stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, gently rub, and rinse well.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these will scratch the high-polish finish.
- Periodically check that the lid's hinge is clean and moves freely for smooth operation.

The Olympia Promise: Everyday Reliability, Professional Presentation

Olympia has a long-standing reputation for creating no-nonsense, reliable products specifically for the UK's demanding hospitality industry.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Heat-Resistant Handle Is a Service Essential
Ever wondered how a metal teapot handle stays cool when the pot itself is piping hot? The secret is in the 'double-layer' design. This isn't just marketing speak; it's a clever bit of engineering that creates a pocket of air between the handle and the pot's body. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so it acts as a natural insulator.
Think of it like a thermos flask, but for your hand. The inner layer of the handle attachment gets hot, but the outer layer that you touch is shielded from that direct heat. This simple design prevents nasty surprises for your staff, allowing for a comfortable and safe pour every time. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference during a busy service, reducing the risk of spills and accidents.
